Pros

Decent work-life balance, easy hands-off management

Cons

Little/no room for promotion, leadership is incredibly fickle with a poor sense of direction. Aggressive culture optimized for efficiency, not for genuinely good cyber security/impact on the field

Pros

Good company benefits - private healthcare, employee stock purchase programme Annual sales kickoff

Cons

All calls & emails are now monitored. Graded & tracked on your calls. New requirement is now to have 50+ calls a month recorded in Gong (Gong was previously phased out but now a requirement). Pay rises are low, false promises each year of promotions & generous pay rises Team members favoured over others Work life balance now near on impossible with all the new asks put in place
