Pros

Salary Flexible work locations Not much else.

Cons

No respect for growth in career. Take away more in benefits than it gives, No 401k match for over a year, no charitable match program. furlough over 2 years when the $$ in the bank is growing as reported by CEO. No raises or bonuses while sales folks get achievers club bonuses. Never knowing if you are secure and it is just a numbers game. I was downsized because after 30 years I earned too much. THey will not allow you training because it costs too much. On year they actually said you have to turn in a pencil to get another.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
