Pros

I genuinely enjoy nearly all of the people I work with. At this company there is a shared culture of collaboration and basic kindness which I feel is really essential to having a good work environment. I appreciate that to the best extent I can tell, leadership at all levels is as transparent as possible with their goals and sticks to their values consistently.

Cons

As the company has grown very quickly over the last few years, many systems are out of date and slow things down. Certain processes work for a 5,000 person company but NOT a 10,000 person company and need to be refreshed.

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.
