Pros

The job is not hard, you get to do your 9 to 6 work hours and leave. Extra hours are paid. Good experience to put in the CV.

Cons

You basically don't learn anything because the managers know less than you. Micromanagement is king. Yesmen get promoted instead of skilled people. Salaries are a joke. Bad organization of the responsibilities which leads to overlap with other departments and countries.

Pros

Pre-sales wing has business timings as their work hours. So you can work during day time.

Cons

HR wing is quite unprofessional, that they will negotiate beyond any capabilities. To be precise, they will hire a new graduate with a package of 9 LPA for a post and offer 10 LPA for a 5 year experienced candidate for the same opening. During ur recruitment phase, You will get irritated with the nature of HR personally. Account managers and senior engineers have no idea about developing a new member in their existing team. They will be a hell amount of dead time in ur initial year, means you might not be doing anything. Lack of coordination between management and employees. Business first, employee second culture. There is no any proper equipment's with your laptop. No extra screen, No Head Phones, No Mouse, Just a laptop and they will expect u to be part of minimum 4-5 meetings per day.

Professional Growth Over Compensation

Anonymous employee

Pros

The company is a huge advocate and believer in promoting employees internally. The company recruits individuals with little to no experience in various fields and offers them opportunities otherwise unprovided in the High Tech world. Long term stability. Employees are provided training and opportunities into new fields of expertise they are otherwise not experienced in.

Cons

Lower salaries and compensation plans than most companies in the High Tech industry. Managers are only provided an annual budget for team bonding events (the budget is just enough to cover costs for a night out at a semi fancy restaurant). There isn't a clear uniform organizational culture, it varies from office/department/country.

Pros

Well established cyber security company often with early stage startup agility. Human resource is excellent with very good community. Excellent work life balance and hybrid work model.

Cons

As a manager, retention is sometimes hard due to the nature of the company - large scale enterprise compensation is unmatchable to startups or other smaller companies.
