Pros

Flexible hours. There are still some talents remain, but not for long.

Cons

There are too many problems and it is getting worse everyday. 1) New CEO and executives did nothing good for the company. Instead, they focus on cost cutting and layoff to make it looking good for selling for quick money in their pocket. 2) After acquired by Vista, there is only base salary and non-guaranteed performance bonus for most employees. There are retention bonus for some employees, but only apply to "important" people in the ring. To retain employees, management are trying to sell the idea of making it fun and interesting place to work, great culture and provide opportunity to grow etc. They never tell the truth about how much money each of them would get as part of the retention bonus. 3) Can't trust the management starting from the top. Some management that are hired in the last few years are less talented. They don't know how to manage experienced people. They are good at pleasing their boss. They simply don't want others to be more visible than them. They tend to praise people in their circle and try to isolate others. As a result, some talented employees couldn't take it any longer and quit. 4) More layoff is coming. 5) Talented employees are leaving for better opportunity. There is no chance to compete with multiple good offers. 6) No matter how hard you work, your boss will get all the credits and be promoted first. Your boss may be promoted twice before your turn. This is the reality at Infoblox and this is a joking topic among the employees. Wondering if upper management knows or they simply don't care.

Pros

- Culture: they have lots of fun events, and also focus on giveback events which is really nice to see - Focus on growth: my manager seems open to giving me opportunities to learn and develop. - People: everyone is so nice and helpful, if you ever have any questions people are ready to answer or point you in the right direction - Hybrid: appreciate that my position is hybrid (2 days onsite) so gives me flexibility!

Cons

I haven't come across too many drawbacks, it is a global company so dealing with the time change when working through a problem can make the resolution longer.

Pros

- Depending on the team, you could work with amazing people - It's a fast growing company

Cons

- Heavily integrated with India and other parts of the world so the working hours are intense - They secretly had layoffs but refused to announce it. They say they are transparent but really, they just use it so everyone else is transparent - Engineering and Product Management lack clear direction and long-term vision. Priorities change constantly, often driven by the “flavor of the week,” which leaves teams scrambling and abandoning work before it’s finished or properly thought through. It creates an environment where no one knows what actually matters. - There is little to no effective project management. Everything is treated as urgent, regardless of scope or feasibility, with very little concern for doing things correctly or sustainably. This leads to rushed decisions, technical debt, and unnecessary stress for engineers. - Employees are severely overworked. Burnout is normalized. Many teammates feel pressured to work excessive hours out of fear for their job security, which creates a tense and unhealthy work culture. The on-call schedule is brutal and poorly managed. Issues are well known, but leadership shows little interest in fixing or improving the system, despite the ongoing toll it takes on employees. - People management is weak at best. Many managers are ineffective and treat their direct reports poorly, yet they are rewarded for being agreeable to upper management. Being a “yes person” seems to matter more than actually supporting or developing your team. - They try to convince you AI won't take over your job but constantly demands you to use AI for every aspect of your job...
