Pros

• Interesting tech. This varies team-by-team, though. I can't speak for the company as a whole. • Lots of opportunities to develop relevant skills, so long as you're motivated and care about getting better. • Friendly coworkers. • Pretty good work/life balance.

Cons

• Incredibly disorganized and chaotic due to poor management from the senior engineering managers. • Low engineering standards. Infoblox cares very little about code quality and common-sense development practices, which is a morale killer. • Infoblox has a very corporate atmosphere, which can sometimes gross me out (e.g. badly-used memes in company-wide emails). • Cheap. I don't buy that once-a-week lunches are "too expensive" for a multi-million dollar security company.

Pros

Strong organization from top to bottom. The culture is a real differentiator, with collaboration clearly expected, encouraged, and supported across the business. Teams communicate well across functions, and leadership is transparent about priorities and direction. The company’s values show up in day-to-day decisions, not only in formal messaging. There is also a strong openness to new ideas and a supportive infrastructure that helps people do good work.

Cons

The company is very AI-driven, which can be a strength, but at times it feels pushed into too many processes whether or not it truly improves the work. There is a risk of moving so quickly toward AI-assisted creation that we lose some of the thinking, context, and craft behind the final output. Vibe coding and AI-enabled workflows can be helpful for speed, but when something needs to be adjusted later, the “why” behind earlier decisions is not always clear. A more balanced approach would help ensure AI supports the creative and problem-solving process rather than replacing the journey that leads to stronger work.
