Pros

Competitive salary and RSU package, though not significantly better than top-tier competitors like CrowdStrike, Microsoft, or Wiz. The core product is genuinely solid—probably the strongest pillar the company can lean on. There are some incredibly smart people in the company, but talent is scattered and team quality is inconsistent.

Cons

Marketing is a revolving door of half-baked ideas and constant U-turns—nothing sticks, and the results speak for themselves. Leadership instability is glaring. Senior execs come and go at an alarming rate, contributing to confusion, lack of accountability, and no long-term strategic direction. Morale is in the gutter. High performers either disappear without explanation or are part of repeated layoffs. No one feels safe, and it shows. Despite branding itself as a global company, SentinelOne operates with a blatant US-first mindset. APJ and EMEA are treated as second-class citizens. Career development is a joke unless you’re willing to play internal politics or attach yourself to the right names. Meritocracy is dead.

Pros

Cyber is a relevant and hot area right now. The tech has some solid differentiators but most of it is hype

Cons

CEO is nowhere to be seen. Seems to dislike public appearances. Many other executive C levels that have been here since the IPO don’t seem to work. HR is dysfunctional. It’s the only part of the company that seemingly gets any investment. Company loves to announce products but seemingly can’t release them on time or without extensive issues. Reps spend months on selling only to lose due to product deficiencies. There seems to be an appetite to buy companies and then let them die.
