Pros

- (Mostly) Remote culture. - Great benefits. - Collaborative work environment. - Career development possibilities.

Cons

- Multiple rounds of layoffs disguised as firings, cross-departmentally. This is a leadership transparency problem. - Career advancement will depend on who you are managed by. Growth can easily be stunted by who you report to, despite the abundance of opportunities for career development here. - Management - fear of retaliation permeates on teams when managers implement rules in direct conflict with overarching business policies. This creates internal/external conflict and hostility. - PTO usage - despite unlimited PTO being the policy, there are managers who monitor, track and limit time off for team members. - Culture Shift: The focus on “world domination” has created a noticeable difference in morale and business operations. People and process first culture has taken a backseat to being the biggest, fastest and strongest security provider. More burnout, more patchy solutions to quickly solve problems that could have been superbly implemented with proper communication and expectations set on timing.

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.
