Pros

The people and the vibe is very good, i came from a corporate and this is a major game changer for me(work life balance is something embedded in the company culture), everything here is in a different pace, the amount of technologies is extreme, the ability to bring new ideas to the company, and the probability they would be adopted is very high, a lot of people to learn from, the technological stack is very wide, from cloud/micro-services/dockeraized dev and this is only a small fraction.

Cons

since this is still as startup, although no one excepts it from you(officially), i see a lot of people working really hard on a lot of tasks in parallel, and since we are all in the same bout in a lot of cases i find my self working really really hard, but when i really need to go, no one would say anything, but people are working their *** off here, not in a bad way, but in a really challenging way, i like it, but i do understand that some people might won't.

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.
