Pros
-Good work/life balance -Good benefits: Tuition Reimbursement, Paternity/Maternity leave, unlimited PTO, stocked fridges and snacks
Cons
-No 401K matching -Raises were not annually, and if they did happen most times it was just stock that you lose if you get laid off or quit, not an actual increase to your base pay

Positive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at FireEye full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Pretty fair benefits and pay. I'd say the work life balance is one of the best perks. I guess it depends on what you do though. Management seems to be getting more involved in trying to get things back on track which is nice to see. I've always thought we have great products and services. If we can get it together internally, I could foresee FireEye doing very well in the future.
Cons
Downsizing, turnover, and reorgs have made things a little hectic. Culture isn't the best right now as people are frustrated over lack of communication as well as not having the right tools to get the job done. It's been a tough couple years but it seems like moves are being made in the right direction.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at FireEye full-time
Pros
CEO is passionate and knowledgeable. Helix is a valued message with real market potential but execution has a long way to go. Free lunch. Most of the time you have work/life balance.
Cons
HR is a joke within the company. As a result, we unfortunately have a culture where you constantly need to check your back. A few members of executive leadership are worn and have lost their passion, it is obvious.
