Pros

The appearance on the outside, is that I would be working for the best company in the industry Benefits are good if you have a family. But you will not get unlimited PTO

Cons

he organization is leaking revenue and attributing it to a DYI situation with customers. Reality: competition is beating us because we are ignoring our customers. We don't value customers unless they are producing a high enough revenue for the business. If billings are small, we are kicking it over to the team in India. Basically, customers don't get the time of day unless they pay us enough. Don't let the reviews fool you. People are leaving this company in droves. Top, middle and front line

Pros

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

Cons

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
