Pros

Good engineers, good work life balance, good benefits and perks

Cons

Company struggling real bad, so they mass layoff every year. Getting intimidated by major players in the cyber security world. Lack of direction from the past hurting growth now. Client churn is a major factor. Management not really transparent with their actions.
