Pros

Strong company mission and customer-first culture. Exposure to cutting-edge technologies in security, networking, and cloud infrastructure. Talented and collaborative colleagues across global teams. Significant opportunities to learn and work on large-scale business challenges. Transparent leadership communication compared to many organizations. Good focus on process improvement, automation, and operational excellence. Flexible work environment and emphasis on employee ownership.

Cons

Rapid growth can sometimes lead to frequent organizational and process changes. Priorities may shift quickly, requiring teams to adapt at a fast pace. Cross-functional alignment can be challenging in a highly distributed global organization. Workloads can be demanding during planning cycles and strategic initiatives. Like many tech companies, periodic restructuring can create uncertainty. Some internal systems and processes continue to evolve as the company scales.

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
