Pros

1) Free Coffee. 2) Free backpack. 3) When they ask you to work weekends and holidays they will keep the lights on, but the heat and air conditioning will be turned off.

Cons

1) Discrimination. 2) Hostile work environment. 3) No reward for loyalty or tenure. 4) No training, unless you're part of the "culture". 5) They lied about the vacation time and quickly took it away?!

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.

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.
