Pros

ceo is very approachable and seemed open to interact as needed.

Cons

mid management is filled with "boys club" and unfortunately has tainted the talent pool needed for growth/long term success. product development gaps are obovious to sales and remaining market relevent will be challenging over the near term as the new batch of products are slowly developed and introduced half baked at a premium. the culture of customer first needs to be driven from top down vs "how to rob" as many customers pockets while never fully integrating solutions initially contracted for remains very visible internally and for the savvy buyer.

Pros

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

Cons

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
