Pros

Awesome overall company that understands the employee is the source of success Market leader for application delivery Great group of engineers to collaborate and work with Excellent benefits and perks including beer friday, fully stocked beverage coolers with awesome selection, free coffee tea and hot chocolate

Cons

High stress environment due to understaffed workforce, case load increases yearly Lower management skates by with little to no feedback for the employee Disconnect between field engineers and support which drives the customer to open complicated implementation cases due to lack of sales provided professional services Majority of support engineers work overtime to stay afloat Know it all culture that is routinely condescending to peers and customers due to incompetent customers and support engineers because new features are released multiple times a year but support isn't properly trained to support it

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
