Pros

Open, connected culture backed by strong leadership. If you want to lead, you will get your chance. A lot of input, a lot of feedback, and support create a great place to work.

Cons

Many legacy staffers who take a while to change and adapt, but the new team and leadership support change and improvement.

Pros

Used to be a great company under Prakash! Now, the new leadership is slashing and burning the great culture that once was WatchGuard

Cons

Cutting costs and firing very good people. New leadership does not care about legacy, loyaly, and commitment.
