Pros

* Smart people * Great products * Great pay / generous bonuses * Medical benefits above average * Lots of extras - cell phone and gym allowance

Cons

After 2 years, the company made a pivot to no longer focus on the product I was working on. They have put all efforts and money into their bot and security businesses. Lots of good people were let go. Make sure you're working on a product that is *HOT* or you, too, will be looking for a new job.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
