Good People, Toxic Culture - Anonymous employee SonicWall Employee Review

Ever since transitioning out of Dell, SonicWALL became a company with all the challenges of a start up without any of the benefits. Many of the changes were necessary to make the company successful again, but this came at the cost of a new senior management team that introduced a toxic culture driven by fear and intimidation. Aggressive goals were pushed at the expense of burnt out teams, and falling out of step from executive marching orders resulted in harsh reprimands. Constant layoffs only added to a sense of instability, and politics replaced trust and discouraged ownership.
