Pros

I had a wonderful time working for this company. They gave me a chance after I graduated college and I really felt I was progressing through the ranks as I gained more and more experience. Work-life balance is great. I never felt like I was taking my work home with me. My coworkers were great to be around and I consider many of them to be my friends, even after I left. The benefits are wonderful, and the company culture is second-to-none. I highly recommend this employer if you want to get into the security industry. The experience this job provides is applicable to other industries, as well.

Cons

The pay could be better for the level of support the team provides. Some calls can be resolved in under 10 minutes, whereas others could be far more involved, requiring an indepth knowledge of our products, computer hardware and networking that you can only get with years of experience. Pay was the only reason I left, and I would be happy to come back if support agents got paid more than they currently do. It really is hard to maintain a HEROIC attitude when you're doing all the work for customers who get paid more than you do.

Pros

Great office space. Great coworkers. Ample opportunity for growth. Company and community events are frequent - Bike build, community cleanups and many other fun events. Parent company provides a stipend that offsets ~80-100% of benefits costs. AI initiatives appear to focus on "Do more with the same workforce" rather than "Do the same with less workforce"

Cons

Pay is low for the market. Raises are non-existent outside of promotions. Actual health benefits are mediocre. 401k matching is capped at $5000. Growing pains due to massive engineering team growth leading to constant management structure shuffling and team rearrangement. Tech stack is playing catch up. "Documentation" for several integral components/workflows lives entirely in the head of 2 or 3 senior engineers.
