Pros

Red Canary has a lot of very engaged, talented people. They care a lot about what they do and are all very passionate about their jobs. The product itself is about average.

Cons

Working at Red Canary for years, it's impossible to move around to other opportunities without judgement and developing grudges. Layoffs are whisper quiet and sudden - they will fire your high-performing coworker for being stressed out while also calling you on vacation and expecting you to 'always be on'. Red Canary is a company that repeatedly chews through talent and increases the burnout rate in an already very burnout-prone industry. The majority of my team is currently actively job hunting. Benefits have dried up from a few years ago. Where once there were opportunities for learning and conferences, there are now none unless you can win a ticket to one. Insurance is paid, but it's a very bad option for insurance in most of the country. Treatment of disabilities and life events is problematic, and the culture is cliquey at best. Their pay is starting to fall behind industry standard, and they've abandoned the pay scale that they once publicly held pride in.

Pros

Inclusion and transparency from leadership. HR before mid-'23 was the absolute best I've ever experienced. Good product, great security people.

Cons

The preparation for acquisition clearly started in '23, when great leaders started leaving and people with zero respect for company values and culture came in. Do what it takes at all costs became the norm and nothing else mattered. Questionable moves to push people out, oddly many of color. Subtle references to race, gender, etc., became acceptable as long as you were pushing the bottom line forward. It was heartbreaking to see after the years leading up to it being truly one of the best companies there was. Ultimately it will just be whatever Zscaler culture is now.
