Pros

The product (endpoint protection is excellent).

Cons

Very bad reputation in the field due to continues changes in management strategy every 18 months. Top managerment believes in dismissing people every 18 months, creating disruption and low committed employees. As the company started as an OEM and the a consumer product, it is internet oriented. Managers don't believe in distribution channel despite they are continuously saying they love the channel. Bullocks. Permanent conflict between direct sales in internet and the distribution channel (distributors and partners). Price policy is very stupid, 95% of the deals are discounted and there is no control up to 20%... Marketing is a huge department... due to the influence of the consumer department, but they only add bureaucracy, slow decisions and no usefull at all.Sales teams are very small and they refuse to invest in sales headcount.

Pros

I've always stayed for years at my previous employers but Bitdefender managed to go above and beyond. Started more than a decade in Enterprise support and managed to move to several roles until settled into a customer-facing engineering role which I really love. There are tons of opportunities in the company so even if you start in an entry-level position you, you can move easily to other departments and roles. The company has offices all across the globe and you will work with talented people from AUS/NZ, Romania, Italy, France, Germany, the UK, Spain, the US, and Latin America. You will have the opportunity to meet people from other offices live during SkOs or during on-site events. Bitdefender secures the largest organizations on the planet so you will be engaged to come up with solutions for different environments and platforms while having access to the latest technologies. Management teams and C Level folks are always accessible and eager to help; just start the conversation.

Cons

Depending on your role, you might need to help a customer during non-business hours as Bitdefender provides and offers cybersecurity for large organizations. This can happen during bank holidays or weekends.
