Pros

Work from office is not mandatory.

Cons

Trellix formed with the merger of McAfee & FireEye. New leadership messed up everything. There is no hope left for Trellix now. Layoffs happening every month at all levels since last one year. No leadership. No vision. Shrinking customer base. Compensation is not as per market standards. Freezed promotions, hikes. No growth at all. Don't join Trellix, even if you are offered a good role or high compensation. It's sinking ship. All recent 5 / 4 star reviews seems fake. Be aware before you trust them.

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.
