Pros

I can't say I have any.

Cons

After going through a grueling number of interviews, Red Canary hired myself and another individual for the position I was interviewing for. It was always going to be them over me. I left a comfortable job (and took a pay cut!) to work for the company. During my tenure, I felt unwelcome as by the team, my ideas were dismissed, and my work was overlooked. I was rarely able to take part in the professional activities the job description tantalized me with. They sold me a bill of goods. I was laid off 4 months after accepting the position in a manner that was both shady and impersonal. Oh, and lest I forget, last quarter they essentially told us we were safe from layoffs, so... They also pride themselves on prioritizing diversity but consistently onboard white men - they don't actually care about D&I! And don't even get me started on the culture; it's pretentious and male-dominated. Good luck to those who do not conform to the personality of the co-founders and early employees.

Pros

Inclusion and transparency from leadership. HR before mid-'23 was the absolute best I've ever experienced. Good product, great security people.

Cons

The preparation for acquisition clearly started in '23, when great leaders started leaving and people with zero respect for company values and culture came in. Do what it takes at all costs became the norm and nothing else mattered. Questionable moves to push people out, oddly many of color. Subtle references to race, gender, etc., became acceptable as long as you were pushing the bottom line forward. It was heartbreaking to see after the years leading up to it being truly one of the best companies there was. Ultimately it will just be whatever Zscaler culture is now.
