Pros

1. You might get a decent base pay at the start of your career at CP. 2. Benefits were good, but they changed health benefits. Which are only good on the east coast now. 3. The biggest pro is the level of engineering support you will receive. SE's, specialist SE's, and architects at CP are amazing and some of the best you will encounter in Cybersecurity. 4. There are some pretty decent people at CP, some monsters as well, but overall, the people you work with are great.

Cons

Oh, where to begin. CP is behind on technology, CP is behind on treating people well, CP has some of the worst comp plans you can possibly imagine, and they change every year, to something worse than the year before. Top leadership is clueless to what to do to fix anything. VP level, C-levels, no idea how to make things better. There is a disconnect between field sales reps and specialist sales organizations. They do not team up, they fight each other. HQ is a huge blockage to success, they believe the world revolves around them, they do not understand how sales works and how to succeed. I spent five years at CP. I received two small pay raises after exceeding 100%. The other years I received RSU's in lieu of a pay raise. SMALL RSU's. There is no room for promotion. Maybe a title promotion but doing the same role, that is huge at CP, but no real promotions are available. Again, the monsters. Most people at CP from the ground level are great people. But the bad apples ruin everything. Some people have been there for many years, losing accounts year after year, treating people horribly and nothing is ever done to correct behavior. Harassment is rampant. HR is on the side of management. The technology is behind all the industry leaders. CP will make an acquisition, and it'll become the flavor of the year and then forgotten about the following year.

Pros

If you like getting involved with firewall technology and experimenting its great

Cons

Pay is a bit poor, this is justified by being told you should be driven by the tech not the money.
