Pros

Many opportunities to solve interesting technical challenges with high impact and very high number of nice, skilled and knowledgeable coworkers.

Cons

Worrying trend over the last few months: Return to office policy. Hiring restrictions that make it impossible to hire (even rare talent) in more expensive areas. Combined with a push towards hiring in countries with lower wages, even offering relocation for existing employees.

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.
