Pros

* Excellent products and talented engineers. * Great opportunity to learn cutting-edge security technologies.

Cons

* Toxic middle-management culture. * Office politics and favoritism often seemed to outweigh performance and technical ability. * Unrealistic expectations and a work culture that normalized 10–12 hour days, leading to burnout. * Employees who prioritized work-life balance often felt at a disadvantage. * Talented engineers left because they felt undervalued, while management failed to address the root causes of low morale and high turnover. * Feedback from engineers frequently appeared to be ignored, and accountability for poor management was lacking.
