Pros

Solve unique problems. Many offices around the world. Opportunities for travel. Work from home/remote available in some roles. Company is always in adapting and changing, constantly presenting an interesting challenge.

Cons

Suffers from typical large company political and communication woes. Not all roles are very clearly defined. Managers can be hit or miss.

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
