Pros

Strong products and market position. Opportunities to work on large scale initiatives.

Cons

Following the acquisition of CyberArk, layoffs were communicated by email, which felt impersonal and disappointing given the contributions of many long tenured employees. The integration process created uncertainty and reduced morale. Decisions seemed focused on cost synergies rather than retaining experienced teams and preserving institutional knowledge.
