Pros

There's a lot of interesting stuff to work on, groups are responsible for a wide range of things which creates opportunities for lateral growth. A high coding standard is generally enforced which is reflected in the codebase's maintainability. The company seems to have a momentum to it, there's no feeling of stagnation

Cons

It seems like management (especially middle management) is only looking upwards and are disconnected from their groups. They have little to no knowledge of what the people are actually doing, and don't seem to care either. Some leaders seem to have gotten promoted not by merit but by favoritism, which is really demotivating. Moreover, the team members rarely ever offer help, instead opting to let newcomers make mistakes and then publicly call them out - which is a shame as a lot of the team are otherwise very experienced. Some of the codebase is a legacy nightmare, a result of hasty decision making years ago

Pros

Cyber is a relevant and hot area right now. The tech has some solid differentiators but most of it is hype

Cons

CEO is nowhere to be seen. Seems to dislike public appearances. Many other executive C levels that have been here since the IPO don’t seem to work. HR is dysfunctional. It’s the only part of the company that seemingly gets any investment. Company loves to announce products but seemingly can’t release them on time or without extensive issues. Reps spend months on selling only to lose due to product deficiencies. There seems to be an appetite to buy companies and then let them die.
