Pros

Great technology that customers buy

Cons

Terrible sales leadership. Way too much turnover in the sales org. Sales cycles are long but churn in org is crazy. Very unprofessional sale management begging for orders from partners and customers when not needed. Cash to quote process is a disaster makes it hard to respond to customers. Commission payout is 90 days out instead of 30 days like most. No 401k(wow). Only 10% of reps and managers are making their number. Strategic (Named) org is in chaos. Especially with new managers that are clueless with 0 security background. Way too much busy work for such small size deals (avg deal under $100k). HR hiring process is the worst in the industry by far and totally unprofessional with hiring process. Some people had 10+ interviews. Don’t recommend this place

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.
