Pros

+ competitive base salary pay + weekly company meeting + hybrid work + work life balance is chill

Cons

- stock has significantly unperformed vs security peers over the last 5 years. (zscaler, panw, crowdstike, fortinet) - a lot of executive turnover - very low $ RSU refresh grants - very conservative budget / investment approach. managing for today, with higher operating margins at the expense of higher revenue growth - office is pretty quiet with most folks WFM. you have to pay for parking while commuting to office - limited promotion growth

Pros

Remote friendly & nice offices. Comp is decent.

Cons

Very political toxic culture. Constant layoffs in marketing and turnover in sales. Promotions are not performance based, but a popularity contest. Work-life balance is the worst I've experienced. Senior leadership turnover is high. New CMO yearly, and constant change of VPs. Management is extremely ineffective, and many are not qualified to do the role.
