Pros

The tech is the best in the market bar none. The team are very supportive and there are no real egos in the building. Pay and benefits pretty good, on a par with just about anything else in the market. There is no micro management and you are allowed to work under your own steam without people leaning on you. Acquiring industry leading startups such as Dome9 really enhances the portfolio. Whip smart people in R&D.

Cons

Might not be a con for you, but there is quite a bit of travelling although Zoom conferences are becoming more common. You are expected to have a very broad breadth of knowledge not just about CP but also about complementary technologies such as public cloud.

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
