Pros

The technology is truly the best on the market. The product is constantly being upgraded and dominates in the endpoint security space. Teams are extremely collaborative from the manager level all the way through the individual contributors. You work with some extremely smart people. The security space is extremely interesting and you genuinely feel like you're doing good and making a difference when a new customer agrees to work with you.

Cons

Company flat lines quotas despite some territories clearly being more lucrative than others. Pay is pretty well below market value and the structure to get raises is extremely rigid (only given twice a year, regardless of when you "earned" it). Even when you're consistently hitting your number, you feel burnt out. Company recently made us a "remote workforce" but don't offer any concessions for helping setup a home office. HR only seems to care about the latest trend in "inclusivity". Was asked to refer someone in my network for a role and they ghosted them in the interview process which was disappointing.

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
