Pros

Growing company with exposure to many security products and a wide array of clients. Great from a technical standpoint you can learn many different products and have exposure to cutting edge technology.

Cons

The company merged with another company early 2015, since then the company has been downhill. The focus has moved from customer focus to profitability, sales numbers and margins. If you do not fit the new management model they are more than happy to ask you to leave the company.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
