Pros

At the forefront of network and security tech. Multiple organizations and opportunities to grow within one company. Most roles allowed to be fully remote. Excellent benefits. Ask about wellness days.

Cons

A lot of technical debt and essential knowledge buried in the heads of the longest serving employees. Newly emerging pattern of annual layoffs even after revenue growth to fine tune each year's business spending.
