Pros
- CTO knows what he's doing. Practically built Carbon Black's initial offering and this platform integrates with a variety of other products.
- The recruiting is one of the best I’ve ever seen. They know how to quickly recruit and fill headcount extremely well. My guess is they’re all over this website writing glowing reviews too.
- Employee gatherings
- Clean office with snacks and you’re allowed to play music on the speaker
- Customer Success leader has been effective at generating successful exits in his past work
Cons
- Expect this to be a call-center like job, lots of cold calls. (Do you like Outreach? You'll learn to LOVE IT!)
- The CRO has had an unusual career due to bouncing from a failing collaboration software company, to software for real estate brokers (yes, this failed too), to having one cybersecurity company do OK (although no exit). He makes cold calls which probably isn’t the best use of a exec’s time. This leadership style is a little questionable,..
- They will change your comp plan (for the worse) scamming you out of at least 10k or more. Expect this when you are evaluating your offer letter.
- Their main competitor is extremely well-established. You will be cold calling into accounts that already have a competitor’s solution.
- You'll interview having them tell you in a year or two you'll get promoted to: SDR to AE, or AE to CAM/SAE/DiroS... This is a pipe dream you shouldn't buy into.
-Product road map is,... well,... nonexistent.
