Pros

-It is a startup environment, some people may enjoy that and some may not (see cons). Personally I enjoy the startup mentality. It is a lot of work but remember you are working with some of the best people the industry can offer. - Little to no disconnect between the executive management and everyone else. The CEO of the company will literally walk by your cube, ask how you're doing, and if there's anything he can do to help . If you have a question, feel free to ask! There is definitely a sense of unity and that we are all on one team. - The company does biweekly events outside the office to help strengthen the bonds between employees. - The executive team sees your potential and truly wants you to succeed in your position. They are always there to help if you have questions.

Cons

- It is a start-up so expect to put in a lot of work. - What you are working on today may not be what you work on next week. If you are very resistant to change then this would be unsettling for you. But if you enjoy the scenic route, new and exciting things, then you'll find your home here.

Pros

Worked with some really great people, who unfortunately have the same outlook. This caused a lot of negative (and hilarious) "water cooler" talk.

Cons

EdgeWave has been, and most likely always will be the laughing stock of the cybersecurity industry. Email solution is OK, but still gets beaten out in deals by competitors that actually take part in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. Web security solution is 20 years behind. You're better off having nothing in place. It can't even stop a 5th grader from going to a porn site. The Huawaii firewall... well, it's a Chinese firewall. This is the United States, and China is one of our biggest adversaries when it comes to cyber warfare. When you are trying to sell a Chinese firewall to a company in the US, how do you think that deal is going to play out? Oh yeah, and I think they fired the only person that knows how to install them.
