Pros

1. The work is very fulfilling 2. Good pay 3. The employees are very friendly and helpful. The bosses are not very bossy, in fact they are respectful/patient towards the subordinates. 4. Work Life balance 5. An employee is very well taken care of here

Cons

Nothing comes to mind, except for the rigorous recruitment process, but the idea behind it is justified. Aspiring candidates steel yourselves, but it's worth it in the end.

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.
