Pros
Best cloud security vision in the industry Still the #1 network security vendor Mostly fun place to work Lots of great new security technology coming in 2020, so we will remain the #1 network security vendor, but it could be a much better journey.
Cons
Since the company's been taken over by Indian management and google execs, the rewards (for the individual contributors at least) have gone in the toilet. More work for less money. The stock compensation plan USED to be pretty good, now it's a pittance. Since the Mark's left the company, it's been constant turmoil and chaos. 401K match is a joke, $1K per year and that's it. It used to be said this was because they were generous with RSU compensation, but that's no longer the case. Constant changes with no plans (or if there are they aren't communicated to anyone). Arbitrary review process with "new" performance metrics, none of which was communicated to individual contributors, but chiseled away at your compensation. I saw similar things going on at Cisco in the 2000's after the dot.com bust. Yet with all the things their doing wrong, I feel the passion and drive of the employees to do the right thing will take the company to the next level no matter how much upper management botches everything up.
