Pros

IBM ownership offers more job security, but comes loaded with many more down sides. Team culture is strong, probably through all the shared adversity that's involved in the day to day role.

Cons

Poor pay, no sales career progression, management are liars and cheats, commission is completely arbitrary, and favouritism is rife. R&D and customer service is severely underfunded and resourced. Very "take the money and run" or "bait and switch" attitude in every department all the way to the top.

Pros

Fiberlink maintains an excellent market position with respect to end-point security in the "cloud" (internet). They are definatley on the mark with their coined phrase of " providing security in the mobile blind spot". They seem to be profitable and more than willing to spend cash in the right areas. The corporate culture is friendly and relaxed while setting high standards for all employees. Fiberlkink does a great job with employee recognition. Most people are willing to help fellow employees. The benefits are excellent and foe the most part, this is a company that provides excellent growth opportunities for all employees.

Cons

There is a new initiative to transition Customer Service people to inside sales people that lacks a solid plan for adequate training, execution, sales personnel collaboration and especially compensation. Sales executives and middle management (in sales) are not in harmony and it is obvious to the sales people. Sales executives are out of touch with cohesive team effort between outside Regional Sales Managers, Sales Account Managers and Sales Account Representatives. There is a great deal of uncertainty with respect to job descriptions and compensation among sales people. Job descriptions and compensation plans need to be established in writing and there sales execs need to adhere to the scheduled start and finish time so of meetings.
