Pros

All the pros left the company, what's left is mediocre. To younger employees: 2 years max, then get out of there.

Cons

Private Equity fund asset stripping, company unbearable to work in, infrastructure in the drain, no longer a serious and established cyber security company, now an AI start-up trying to make money. Massive layoffs, chaotic organisational changes, no upwards mobility and flat company structure. Terrible salary and compensation package, poor benefits scheme, no more remote work, no salary increases, meagre yearly bonus. Excuses excuses. Training and personal development prospects: on your own dime and your own time. Absent HR, absent payroll team, neglectful management. Long hours, thankless work, unreasonable targets. Negging culture. Massive client retention problem leaving in their droves, massive employee retention problem. Presenteeism, Cliquey toxic environment, isolate the quiet ones, Nepotism hires, no promotion chances. CEO is a nutcase.
