Pros

Market leader for the binary management area Company moved to security area a few years ago, and even though it's still a bit far from the competitors, the strategy seems to be right.

Cons

"More similar to a cult than a company", this title summarizes what this company is, and can explain all the positive comments you will find, most of all the ones referring to the culture. You are either a member of this cult or you are not. There is no half-mesures. There are many clues that reveal a toxic culture: micromanagement, favouritism, blaming culture, people stressed out and overwhelmed... However, they will alway refer to the "Codex", keeper of the company's values, but it's no more than a dead letter. The middle management is not there to help you overcome the challenges that you will have to deal with in your journey. They are there to ensure that you accomplish with the target that you have been assigned to, no matter what. And I've been direct witness of this. If you're looking for an "employee-first" company, this is definitely not the right choice. My last advice is that you better do the effort to review the bad comments (as the good ones, in this kind of companies, you can imagine they come from internal campaigns to green the image), and try to reflect if you would be able to work in an environment like this. Then you make your decision.

Pros

Relatively stabile company in terms of no layoffs, good product fit, generally great team members across the organization

Cons

Too many chefs in the kitchen on majority of the projects, too much involvement from c-suite on minor details, too many people in senior positions make very last minute demands and do not supply the support to make them happen in a timely fashion, last but not least c-suite is pretty much never satisfied. C-suite will frequently lash out on one person on a call with many stakeholders for a small mistake or a mistake that isn't their fault (even if it was a big mistake I don't condone this type of behavior). I don't know if I ever heard any positive feedback at all from C-suite to anyone that wasn't already quite senior.
