Pros

- Mostly steady with minimal layoffs - Stock took a 25% nose dive and this could change the stability

Cons

- Salary is way below market - A public company, run like a private company. Good stop for no more than a year, if you desperately need a job. - It is a tier 3 company - Tier I is google, meta and others, Tier II is Cisco, Palo Alto and others. - The main customer base is SMB and they act that way - Stay away from Marketing. CMO left and a junior manager (SVP?) is running the show. No management skills.

Pros

- It "used to be" work life balance - great manager(only works if you work for the right guy)

Cons

- It used to be a visa-friendly, all of a sudden, the company decides to review everyone's visa extension without any further transparent notice. - Pay is way more lower than industry average. - It varies depends on team. Follow the right boss, you will be in heaven. Follow the wrong boss, you will enjoy "Chinese 996 management" - Old technical skillsets Don't come.
