Pros

Casual dress code. Great engineers.

Cons

I don't know where to start. Executive team is really disconnected from the majority of the staff.. During my time there I witnessed multiple layoffs while executive staff continued giving themselves promotions and raises. The company has scattered goals that seem to be always changing, making said goals unattainable. Everyone is continuously on edge about how much longer they will be working there, and it's always a topic of conversation at the cool "company happy hour" and all company holiday parties (which are always in the office building itself). I'm not sure how they are still in business at this point, because the sales staff never meets their goals.

A Toxic Mess

Pros

Nothing, other than the very few people left who are pleasant to work with. Convenient location, and a microbrewery just opened across the street.

Cons

Wow, where to even begin? I would give them no stars if I could. Executive management is either extremely delusional, incompetent, or both. Constant lies to the staff have become a daily, if not hourly, occurrence. The company is and has been dying a slow death, but the execs continue to tow the company line by saying there is great leadership and great products. Please. Multiple RIFs in 2015 will tell you otherwise. The ever-changing company strategy has very much hurt the company instead of driving the growth the Board so de$ires. Just take a look at their website - can you say you know what they really do? Web filter? Spam blocker? Network security? Who knows! Don't even bother looking at the Magic Quadrant. EdgeWave doesn't participate because it costs money, period the end.

Awful, just awful

Pros

Worked with some really great people, who unfortunately have the same outlook. This caused a lot of negative (and hilarious) "water cooler" talk.

Cons

EdgeWave has been, and most likely always will be the laughing stock of the cybersecurity industry. Email solution is OK, but still gets beaten out in deals by competitors that actually take part in the Gartner Magic Quadrant. Web security solution is 20 years behind. You're better off having nothing in place. It can't even stop a 5th grader from going to a porn site. The Huawaii firewall... well, it's a Chinese firewall. This is the United States, and China is one of our biggest adversaries when it comes to cyber warfare. When you are trying to sell a Chinese firewall to a company in the US, how do you think that deal is going to play out? Oh yeah, and I think they fired the only person that knows how to install them.
