Pros

Company has great vision of becoming the iconic company in security domain, and has lots of customers in financial domain. The sales team is super strong. CEO is good at sales and good leader. Challenging problems to solve. Great infra team. Good snacks.

Cons

The new engineering leader had fired the old employees at the higher management level, and brought in the folks from his previous company to replace them. There is no diversity at the engineering higher management level, and affected the company culture negatively. The engineering leader used foul language all the time in the meetings without caring if there were any female employees in the meeting. Not good for the company's brand. The so called architects had written such a poor code that it was hard to scale the services without rewriting them completely. The senior engineers did not care about the quality . The free food was not great as no attention was given to the employees' feedback.

Pros

-CEO is extremely forward-thinking, but still seems very genuine and practical. That culture trickles down. -Great customer solutions, so I can compete toe-to-toe and know that it doesn't have to start with pricing concessions, politics and FUD around competition, to obscure product shortcomings. -Benefits are outstanding, IMO. -There seem to be many opportunities to advance, and I have seen a lot of internal promotions in my first 30 days. -Culture is great, and has a strong foundation, but I can already see some polish wearing off at the employee level. You can't put wrong people in place and expect them to pay it forward.

Cons

-I have offered up three referrals and not one has received any follow-up outside of the confirmation email. -No 401K match, but I hear rumors.
