Pros

Interesting product, big name investors/customers

Cons

We are understaffed at every single dept, except for sales - who doesn't bring in enough revenue to justify the size of their team. Everyone in legal, finance, marketing, IT and general support are severely overworked and stressed out on a consistent basis, especially since COVID hit. As a company our leadership lacks guts and conviction. We don't have the guts to invest in areas of need to grow the company like engineering, marketing, daily operations. We are way too cheap. Took in a round of funding in 2019 and we haven't spent a dime of it, all while sales struggles and we clearly have areas where we need to improve. We lack strategy, no one seems to have an idea where we are going as a company. No one is truly set up for success, our communication is awful. I talk to a lot of coworkers, morale is consistently down. The turnover rate is very high, rare to see anyone out of Exec Staff here longer than 2 years.

Pros

They invest in their people. I had the privilege of working at Menlo. Leadership is strong from the top down. They have a strong vision for the future of security.

Cons

Crowded market. The technology is best in class. Can't wait for the entire industry to recognize Menlo's dominance.

Pros

Individual contributors are generally hard-working and willing to help.

Cons

5 performance reviews per year where you are the top of your team will still result in a raise that is roughly equal to the inflation rate. Maybe the 6th review cycle they've added this year will make a difference.
