Pros

- talented people on the ground - salary and benefits are solid

Cons

- strategy dramatically shifts every 6 months - marketing leadership is inept at best, at worst they’re self aggrandizing, back stabbing, and HR time bombs - the culture in marketing is toxic where independent work is incentivized and employees are encouraged to battle each other - it’s all about the shiny red ball of the moment with no long-term strategy. It makes no sense that this company can’t focus on more than one product at a time. - your capacity and work boundaries don’t matter

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.
