Pros

Very smart colleagues. The most brilliant engineers who had prior good experience with UX loved my role and welcomed me into the process.

Cons

Reorgs and regular reprioritizing projects confounded good progress with our work flow. There were many nearly-complete projects I was pulled from without making final positive impact to the release. Frustrating.

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.
