Pros

The leadership of the company is definitely turning things around. There are a ton of new and exciting projects going on, we've done of good job of getting financial backing/getting the company on solid ground. If you like new tech/security/cyber technology, this is a great place to be.

Cons

Internal Training & Project Management - Both while called out here, have gotten a lot of attention in recent history. To this end, our Internal Training and PMO programs are getting better and better every day - its helping our company operationally and will pay dividends if seen through to conclusion.

Pros

EdgeWave has great vision and the people to bring that vision to life. The work environment is very pro-employee and has a great family feel to it. The company recently went through a rough period where there had to be a few layoffs, so they could get their house in order, but there is definitely a new energy and a feeling of growth being infused into the company now. The company has a relaxed atmosphere to it, but is very serious about the business they are in. They are looking to make the world a safer and better place through superior and more robust Cyber Security. If you are the type of person (like I am) who wants to roll up your sleeves and show what your worth, then EdgeWave is a company that will be a very rewarding experience for you. I feel valued, from the CEO down to my peers, every day that I come to work here at EdgeWave.

Cons

I think EdgeWave is having a hard time shedding the poor images that the company has been saddled with from the past. Also, the company restructuring, has caused them to be under-staffed right now, but it looks like they are actively trying to fix that problem.

Pros

Having worked for the company almost 10 years (since the days of St. Bernard Software), I've seen a lot of changes. Of course not all changes in an organization are good for everyone, but some are necessary for the overall long term success of the group. Always looking ahead and striving to achieve the next goal, even in difficult times, is a strong focus here. My time here has given me the opportunity to work with all kinds of people, across every department. The size of the company makes cross functional work among teams easier, faster and more productive. The successful people here really look beyond just their normal jobs and at what they can do to help not only others in the company achieve a goal, but help the company as a whole succeed. The small company size also means that you know almost everyone by name. Even the newest employee and the CEO can have a conversation while getting coffee. I think there's more accountability from all levels when you're viewed as a person with a name. When you do your job and do it well, you will be recognized by name from the top down. I've always found the company accommodating around outside appointments for medical or childcare needs. Depending on your functional need/department, work hours are fairly flexible. Benefits and compensation are decent and comparable with other much larger companies I've worked for. Typical small office perks, free coffee and tea, cheap vending machines and kitchen amenities for storing and making your own food. Free onsite gym facilities with lockers and showers. Occasional extra-curricular events, including happy hours and company hikes.

Cons

Career advancement can be limited depending on which department you work in. I think this is pretty typical for smaller/growing companies. The larger engineering and sales departments certainly offer more opportunity. If you're a require a promotion every year, no matter what value you bring type, this isn't the place for you.
