Pros

Decent compensation ranges for positions Good Health Insurance Good stock options

Cons

The company gets reorganized on a regular basis. Lots of conflicting guidance from senior leadership. There are a lot of stupid policies that managers are constantly trying to get exemptions from for ICs. Depending on the role, oncall can be rough. Hiring pipeline is rough, most teams are severely understaffed as a result.

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
