      Pros

      - Depending on the team, you could work with amazing people - It's a fast growing company

      Cons

      - Heavily integrated with India and other parts of the world so the working hours are intense - They secretly had layoffs but refused to announce it. They say they are transparent but really, they just use it so everyone else is transparent - Engineering and Product Management lack clear direction and long-term vision. Priorities change constantly, often driven by the “flavor of the week,” which leaves teams scrambling and abandoning work before it’s finished or properly thought through. It creates an environment where no one knows what actually matters. - There is little to no effective project management. Everything is treated as urgent, regardless of scope or feasibility, with very little concern for doing things correctly or sustainably. This leads to rushed decisions, technical debt, and unnecessary stress for engineers. - Employees are severely overworked. Burnout is normalized. Many teammates feel pressured to work excessive hours out of fear for their job security, which creates a tense and unhealthy work culture. The on-call schedule is brutal and poorly managed. Issues are well known, but leadership shows little interest in fixing or improving the system, despite the ongoing toll it takes on employees. - People management is weak at best. Many managers are ineffective and treat their direct reports poorly, yet they are rewarded for being agreeable to upper management. Being a “yes person” seems to matter more than actually supporting or developing your team. - They try to convince you AI won't take over your job but constantly demands you to use AI for every aspect of your job...

      Pros

      - Culture: they have lots of fun events, and also focus on giveback events which is really nice to see - Focus on growth: my manager seems open to giving me opportunities to learn and develop. - People: everyone is so nice and helpful, if you ever have any questions people are ready to answer or point you in the right direction - Hybrid: appreciate that my position is hybrid (2 days onsite) so gives me flexibility!

      Cons

      I haven't come across too many drawbacks, it is a global company so dealing with the time change when working through a problem can make the resolution longer.

      Pros

      Overall, Infoblox treated its employees well and actually stands by its diversity goals. Good benefits, decent pay if you get a bonus, and mostly reasonable work demands. I would have stayed if I hadn't been laid off. I enjoyed my direct team, and the work projects were engaging.

      Cons

      They gutted my small team while I was on vacation, driven by internal politics. Afterward, they told me my job was safe while prying me for knowledge and then had me train my US-based replacements. Afterward, they laid me off on Thanksgiving and then outsourced my job to Mexico City to save money while they prepare to IPO. The two people who made the decision didn't seem to care much after delivering the news, and they didn't check in on me, even though I'd been asked to work for two more weeks to finish training my replacements. The only saving grace is that they gave me a month of extra pay, a decent severance, and three months of COBRA coverage. Work hours were often demanding, with 60-70hr weeks for months at a time. A good chunk of turnover happened among other teams.

      Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are glad to hear you felt supported by your direct team, found the work engaging, and experienced benefits and a commitment to our diversity goals. We are also sorry to hear how the transition was handled from your perspective, particularly around timing, communication, and the experience of being asked to transfer knowledge while feeling uncertain about your role. While we cannot address individual employment situations, internal decisions, or specific claims in a public forum, we do take concerns about respect, transparency, and how change is managed very seriously. That includes how leaders communicate during organizational changes and how we support employees through difficult moments. Your comments about sustained long hours and burnout are also important. We want high performance to be sustainable, and we continue working on clearer prioritization, better resourcing, and healthier operating rhythms across teams. We appreciate the contributions you made while at Infoblox and the candor in your review. If you are open to sharing more context, we encourage you to contact our People team so your feedback can be reviewed by the appropriate leaders. We wish you success in your next role.
