Pros

Remote work was great. Good benefits. I loved the health stipend every year.

Cons

I was given a sum of RSUs for working so hard, but was laid off before the first big vest, so I got nothing. My raise one year was literally PENNIES. Bonuses switch to RSUs instead of cash, which was a con for me personally. Told all the time that the business was doing great, and then raises and bonus's would be cut.

Pros

Genuinely collaborative culture with talented, supportive colleagues across sales, marketing, and technical teams. * Strong work-life balance and flexibility compared to many companies in the cybersecurity industry. * Meaningful products and technology with a strong reputation in the market. * Employees are trusted to own their work without excessive micromanagement. * Good benefits and a people-first culture that generally prioritizes employee well-being.

Cons

As a large organization, decision-making can sometimes be slow and require alignment across multiple stakeholders. * Organizational changes and shifting priorities occasionally create uncertainty. * Cross-functional processes can be complex, which can impact speed of execution.
