Pros

From associates to sales staff, everyone seems to generally be well versed in content delivery and now cloud security due in part to the 2-4 months of training (whiteboards) you go through. Pay is very competitive if you can maintain top performer status and the culture is very supportive.

Cons

Movement within the company has slowed down and with recent layoffs, some groups may have lost some of that startup feel it had years ago. Some of the perks like group lunches and paid attendance at conferences seems to have gone away to try and appease investors which can leave employees with a sour taste

Pros

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

Cons

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
