Pros

Salaries are decent but come with a high price (stress, no work life balance, unrealistic expectations)

Cons

Management and Sr Management are desperate for money and have unrealistic expectations. When employees can't deliver the intangible goals, they are accused of poor performance, threatened to be laid off and fired in a matter of weeks. You will be lured with a good salary offer to come work here, but once you are there, you will have no peace of mind, no satisfaction and will be walking on egg shells. Management also promotes unfriendly competition throwing employees one against the other, so there is no team work, you are on your own and your life will be miserable, trust me, do yourself a favor, go work in a more mature company.

Pros

Worked with some really great people, who unfortunately have the same outlook. This caused a lot of negative (and hilarious) "water cooler" talk.

Cons

EdgeWave has been, and most likely always will be the laughing stock of the cybersecurity industry. Email solution is OK, but still gets beaten out in deals by competitors that actually take part in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. Web security solution is 20 years behind. You're better off having nothing in place. It can't even stop a 5th grader from going to a porn site. The Huawaii firewall... well, it's a Chinese firewall. This is the United States, and China is one of our biggest adversaries when it comes to cyber warfare. When you are trying to sell a Chinese firewall to a company in the US, how do you think that deal is going to play out? Oh yeah, and I think they fired the only person that knows how to install them.
