Pros

Only positive side are those few good people I met along the way but I am giving 1 star because no option for zero star

Cons

If you enjoy being a nameless number in a meat grinder, this is the place for you. Leadership has traded innovation for "cost-cutting" (layoffs) while failing to deliver a coherent product. XDR was big failure and we all know the rest of the story. Trellix is coasting on a legacy names (FireEye/mcafe) that is rapidly losing relevance. The culture is defined by nepotism over ability. HR is a ghost department that watches while favoritism and toxic management styles run rampant. With zero pay raises in 3 years and no path for growth, this company isn't just "behind the market"—it's an organizational autopsy in progress. STG killed 2 well known brands and now struggling to make any profit, IPO or sell off. If anyone wants to see the sad reality we all know that McAfee and FireEye have been a leader in the Gartner for many years so where is Trellix?

Pros

Some great people with collaboration.

Cons

Constant leadership changes and layoffs. Communication from leadership very inconsistent. Very metric vs people minded. They layoff people on paternity leave. Layoff people to hire new people at a lower pay rate. Metrics are unattainable due to technology not being ready, bad reputation in the industry, customer support lacking.
