Pros

Salary was okay, commission structure, some mangers were nice, location, liked the smaller company feel and some people were nice to work with.

Cons

The reviews regarding inflating their billings, several sales vps in the last 3 years are all true. I'm surprised some of the executive staff haven't been led out in handcuffs for the corruption that everyone knows is going on there.I had the most miserable life while working here. You're so stressed that you lose sleep because you know there's no way you're going to come close to hitting quota but they find a way to make you feel like you're the problem. When you're talking to a client and they do a simple Google search and ask why you're operating in the red zone financially, that's a problem. There have been so many people who have quit or even fired but have been rehired! It's sad, it's like an abusive relationship that you want to get out of, but they tell you every once in awhile they love you, so you stay. Just stay away and your life will be great!

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.
