Pros

Pay and benefits good, work-life balance good

Cons

Aweful mid-management only focused on the numbers. EMEA sales management complete waste of time. the company is too focused on IPO and not on getting a good product, still reliant on the goodwill of Nessus. They are miles behind Qualys for cloud-based scanning. really need to get their act together.

Pros

We can essentially use AI without any limit right now. The pay and compensation is industry leading but that's how they get you to stay.

Cons

The engineering organization is technologically stagnant — from CI pipelines, to sec/ops practices and overall architecture, everything is locked into legacy practices with little room for outside perspectives. Attempts to introduce modern tools or new ideas are consistently met with resistance rather than curiosity. There's also a stark tenure gap. Most engineers leave within a year or two once they recognize the limited ability to drive change, while those who stay long-term — often 8+ years — have rarely worked outside this environment and lack exposure to broader industry practices.
