Pros

Great tech, great promise ,excellent dev team ( for now). Nice new offices, pay is on par with other similar companies in the Bay Area.

Cons

In one word - CEO. In more detail- I’ve worked there for several years, watching how a promising startup is rising with the right technology, the right engineering team, excellent business opportunity and innovative ideas. Unfortunately as the company grew, the complete and utter lack of leadership from the CEO/CTO, together with their inability to manage anything over 3 people, and letting go of the only people in the company who could - drive this company head down to the never-land of a startup. Key people are leaving every week now, dev team is falling apart after the previous VP left, the entire executive team replaced in the past year, 2 co-founders left the company, the sales team almost entirely replaced. And still the disaster continues. The only constant factor remaining is he ego-driven, dishonest (to say the least) CEO

Pros

Cyber is a relevant and hot area right now. The tech has some solid differentiators but most of it is hype

Cons

CEO is nowhere to be seen. Seems to dislike public appearances. Many other executive C levels that have been here since the IPO don’t seem to work. HR is dysfunctional. It’s the only part of the company that seemingly gets any investment. Company loves to announce products but seemingly can’t release them on time or without extensive issues. Reps spend months on selling only to lose due to product deficiencies. There seems to be an appetite to buy companies and then let them die.
