Pros

The people are great -- none of the office politics or management arrogance I've seen in other companies of this size. Just a great environment to work in. Vacation time is very flexible.

Cons

Parking is expensive. Lunch can easily be expensive. And there are not enough facilities to really support any sort of warm lunch.

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.
