Pros

Great talent to work with, team cultures do not reflect company culture, solid product, most Directors and managers work extremely hard and manage large teams to make up for VPs and Executives that cannot agree on anything.

Cons

Executive and go-to-market strategy was never cohesive nor agreed upon. They made really bad hiring decisions, data is not clear, and then laid people off. I was recruited from another company to achieve clear goals. I surpassed my goals and then was let go because new executives wanted to bring in their teams. It happens but leadership is not held accountable for their bad management decisions. In fact, they give themselves massive bonuses every year while not increasing salaries.

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.
