Pros

Benefits, Work Life Balance, Great Products

Cons

Implementations never go right Not a minority friendly company Politics, once you play the game you are set. It has helped me now but some people will never fit in. And will struggle with this....Don't join if you care about culture, join if you are here to make money, work hard and enjoy life outside of work

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.
