Pros

Great resources and deep knowledge. They encourage collaboration as much as possible. Lots of training resources. Technical contacts are available and always willing to help. They value their employees, people who work here are passionate about what they do. Long term industry leader and excellent products that cover all security needs, not just firewalls. Current software fixed issue they had with older products. I work with a very supportive and positive team. So different than my previous employer. Long term employees are still here which is a good sign it's a place people want to stay.

Cons

Known as a firewall company but they have a complete security product portfolio. Since they have been around a long time there are old products still in use that need to be replaced to use latest version of software. This isn't anything different in the industry. Working with a broad portfolio of products can be a challenge, there's a lot to know about. I'm on the engineering side working on designs and implementations. It's hard to know it all and you aren't expected to. SMEs and PMs can assist, resources are available.

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.
