Pros

Competitive pay package and benefits. Gartner Leader in the Identity space. Well positioned in the cyber security market, although some recent high profile breaches were not so well handled.

Cons

Due to a change in leadership in APAC, the entire culture has changed. There is a general fear of being candid. People are let go due to personality vs performance. Poor hiring choices were made which exacerbate the situation. It looks shiny on the outside but once you join, you will see the rot inside. If you are a class A performer take your talent elsewhere.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
