Pros

good benefits and nice people to work with.

Cons

Promotions are very hard to get compared to other technology companies, HR department is cloudless of how promotions work and they are very defensive, very hard to maybe impossible to transfer from a team to another team within finance. Too many systems used and almost all of them do not speak to each other and very bad interfaces which is very bad for a technology company.

Pros

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

Cons

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
