Micromanaging to a fault

Pros

Ability to work from home.

Cons

Constant micro-managing from the top down. Work-life balance is a joke. Management is not transparent; always saying one thing and doing another. Do as I say not as I do. No opportunities to move to other jobs within the company. Back office personnel are ignored; only Sales team matters and get perks.

Huge potential but employees are not high priority

Pros

Unlimited PTO is great. Cybersecurity is an exciting industry with seemingly endless potential.

Cons

Communication is lazy and untimely. Decisions about compensation and policy are left to rumor or management discretion and only formally communicated after the fact. Employees once enjoyed a flexible schedule and option to work from home but with the new headquarters not only is that flexibility going away the parking stipend has been discontinued. New employees can factor that into salary negotiation but current employees are taking a pay-cut. After coming in below the financial goal in 2017, layoffs have also been rampant and there is no opportunity for advancement in the near future.

Pros

-Great team and people that support one another. (Large organization. This will vary across teams). -Flexible working hours and work from home. (A new office space is being built in Denver, so this flexibility could change. However, the office space will be some of the nicest and newest in Denver in over 30 years). -Unlimited PTO policy which is on par with the innovative tech companies. -Solid financial backing from VC KKR. This company is being infused with capital for growth and probably and IPO. -The Cybersecurity industry is a very interesting place to be.

Cons

-Work load for services resources can be very high. Work with your managers on this. -Variable/Bonus pay program is always changing and never can be counted on. This skews salary numbers. Make sure you get what you need in your base pay. -Internal business processes are not rolled out well causing issues in many situations. -Career paths are not well defined.
