Best Company I've worked for

Pros

-Flexibility -Culture -Benefits I have worked in many industries and I can honestly say EdgeWave has been one of the best companies, if not the best company I've worked for. You are given independence and freedom to do your job how you see fit. I have received many incentives for a job well done above and beyond what a normal employer would give besides four raises in a little over two years (no I'm not exaggerating). Most people at the Company have only ever worked for EdgeWave or have only ever worked in the technology industry and do not realize how good they have it. I say try working in the retail or hospitality industries for awhile and then see if there are complaints about management, culture, or appreciation because there wouldn't be any.

Cons

-a few bad apples can ruin the crop There have been a lot of changes in senior management in the sales department over the last three years. This has resulted in quite a few bad hires and disgruntled sales employees that probably should never have been hired in the first place. Sales may drive a company, but on Glassdoor regarding EdgeWave, sales employees' reviews have led to a rationalization of delusional perspective. No one that is happy really writes reviews, which is why I thought I should, since I am. All of the other departments are quite content with EdgeWave, and since that is where the Company's core competencies are, that is more important. The Company now has very exciting new leadership in the sales department, so this area should improve greatly.

Pros

EdgeWave's biggest competitive advantage and one of the key reasons that I joined the company recently was it's PEOPLE, PASSION and ENERGY! Walking thru the door, you can already feel the potential that this team and this company has, and the excitement across the company for the mission and journey that lies ahead! If you are looking for a company that values and rewards TEAMWORK, ENERGY, COMMITMENT TO EXCELLENCE and PREDICTABLE, REPEATABLE and SUSTAINABLE PERFORMANCE...than this is the family that you need to compete to be part of!

Cons

Make no mistake, EdgeWave plays in a space that many companies have succeeded and failed due to the strategic impact a solution like this has on an organization. If you don't get Cyber Security right...you don't survive! If you come here, get ready to buckle up for an exciting ride. This space is exciting with limitless growth...and you need to bring your A GAME! The great news is that your teammates are in the plane with you every step of the way!

Pros

The people with tenure. There are still a few folks, getting fewer every quarter, that were part of the old St.Bernard /Red Condor Company. Engineering folks are always willing to assist Customers

Cons

Where should I start and not get this objective review flagged. I'll say this, The company has had massive layoffs since the Sr Management change that took place after Q-2 2012. A major shift in strategy left Channel Partners out in the cold, and no warning was given to them. Board of Directors seem to think that the current Sr Management team will take them to the promised land when in fact they have lost at least 90% of their talent, due to layoff's, firing, and people not willing to work for a company that rewards politics. Remember this is an objective review. The technology is great for a niche product. However, Sr Management hire people with zero infosec experience and put them in key positions. If you ask a bus driver to fly a plane chances are he will wreck it or never get off the ground. Ex CEO, Chairman, made 3 Sr Management changes in 3 years. He doesn't realize that it is extremely hard to displace the industry giants with a niche product and issues with delivery. Now that they have a skeleton-crew office, it's a good guess that they are actually planning on closing the doors after lining their pockets with money, courtesy of the sweat and toil of people with many years of loyalty to this company. Hopefully the reputation will follow them and the next venture will think twice before placing ineffective management in key positions. It's hard to believe that a Telemarketing Manager with zero InfoSec experience can be given the crown jewels and commit to growing this company to $100 Million in one year. For that to happen they would have to displace $70+ Million from their competitors and do it with a sales team that is still learning the basics of Channel Sales.
