Pros

Personal Ownership of go to market strategy, best technology in Cyber Security Hands Down, Quality Engineering Team

Cons

No Marketing Dollars to grow your business or support your plan, share rooms on all corporate trips unless you are director level, your expenses are like a mail in rebate, you are required to fly to Israel for training but no one will pick you up at the Airport and you will be left to your own defenses, no regard for your safety making you stay in cheap hotels, HR is a joke, if you have a medical condition they do not care, they will break every law because they do not train their employees on anything HR related, micro management with unrealistic expectations forcing employees to lie to keep their jobs, Israel employees do not care what US employees need to be successful, the culture is awful, no perks at all.

Pros

- Good technology and product portfolio - Decent benefits health, gym, home internet all paid for - New hire Onboarding trip to Israel

Cons

- Local management lack leadership needed to guide and motivate staff. Sales Directors that have never done sales before managing major account teams - High turn over, people leaving every quarter. Sales reps not making their targets. - SE standard and experience has dropped significantly over the last 2-3 years - Poor sales environment, lack of teaming both internally and with external channel partners - Poor support for Sales teams, no inside sales or lead development teams. Lack of marketing resources. -Cut backs in channel reps has resulted in management asking major account execs to take on management of channel partners in addition to sales role!

Pros

Flexible work hours, a lot of in-house training, yearly raises and opportunities for promotion if you do your job well

Cons

Most of the technologies used in software development have been in the market for quite a while, and are quite limited. so if you are looking for any involvement with new technologies, most odds it will not be here. Salary is decent, but definitely not the best payers.
