Pros

Started out as a great support center with very knowledgeable support engineers and great product. Focus was on technical support. All of the security engineers were experienced and knew their stuff

Cons

The management was mediocre. Started to focus on the bottom line. Brought in call center managers who focused on cutting back talk time and escalating calls vs solving them. Started a tiered evaluation process to filter out highly paid (experienced) engineers and brought in lower paid, straight out of school entry level staff. Obviously support suffered. Also, rolled out software with full knowledge that it was "buggy". This increased support calls. No wonder stock price fell by $100 (at the time).

Pros

Solid technology. Respected name and customer loyalty for legacy firewall products. North America TAC/support managers are professional and care about customers.

Cons

Horrible culture. Global HQs does everything, and not well. Local/regional mgrs have no ability to effect change. KPIs, KPIs, KPIs. No one wants to hear feedback or suggestions, even on behalf of customers. Systems are complex and training is cursory. Very poor communication. Mgmt forecasts way too high, and then everyone pays the price with threats of being fired. You will fight for every penny of commissions. Don't plan to ever make OTE. The competition is light years ahead on marketing and partner enablement. CEO in Israel has to approve every local marketing campaign worldwide.
