Pros

Good benefits with unlimited paid time off (if your manager allows it). Possible long-term, retirement employment,

Cons

Non-competitive pay for S.F. Bay Area, old tech and infrastructure, negative, anti-California culture from east coast corp office along with very early morning meetings due to time difference between east and west. Substandard, lazy managers waiting out retirement. Limited career development path on west coast.

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.
