Pros

You can work here and do very little. Remote options.

Cons

Stuck in its 90s legacy, and obsessed with MIT founders and MIT. Still pushing DEI training which is linked to performance reviews… values DEI/ESG, legacy, and middle management over innovation and productivity/profit.

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.
