Pros

Most of the employees are hard working and very professional. They know what they are doing and are a pleasure to work with.

Cons

They've spent too many years and money on acquisitions and it feels like a broken umbrella. No one in the cybersecurity industry really knows their name or what they are about except an amalgamation of security business under one umbrella. They are okay in most things but not great at any one thing, which makes it a hard sell. Yearly layoffs have gutted the most knowledgeable staff making their integration projects that much more difficult.

Pros

Supportive coworkers, good exposure to finance and business operations, and opportunities to work cross-functionally with different teams. The company is growing, so there is room to learn and take ownership.

Cons

Processes can feel a bit unclear at times, and priorities may shift quickly. Some systems and reporting workflows could be more streamlined. Like many growing companies, communication between teams can sometimes be inconsistent.
