Pros

At the forefront of network and security tech. Multiple organizations and opportunities to grow within one company. Most roles allowed to be fully remote. Excellent benefits. Ask about wellness days.

Cons

A lot of technical debt and essential knowledge buried in the heads of the longest serving employees. Newly emerging pattern of annual layoffs even after revenue growth to fine tune each year's business spending.

Pros

Remote, unlimited pto, health benefits, wellness days

Cons

Complex tools, products and processes. It's mostly all cold calling which is a grind. Morale is at all time low across entire department. Quotas change mid month. No career opportunities... at all. 99% of sdrs have been sdrs for years with no advancement but we're treated like it's an entry level role
