Pros

For the most part, the people are good to work with. They're also willing to help and answer your questions when you have them. People are friendly and kind. The product is also good and I'm sure the company will be successful due to the continued demand for data security and privacy.

Cons

The most disorganized, workaholic culture. You can't say you support a good work life balance, and then also praise employees for working late all the time, or working with COVID--that's not actually valuing work life balance. Product doesn't communicate well with the rest of the organization, and this is true with many of the rest of the departments. There are no established processes for who is responsible for what, and people are always stepping on each other's toes, or worse, everybody is always pushing a task off to someone else. I've never worked in an organization with so little accountability. I've also found that when processes fail or things don't get done on time, people are quick to throw other teams/departments under the bus. Also, the amount of PTO given to employees is abysmal, just in general but especially compared to the rest of the tech industry. It's about 13 days a year for sick leave and vacation combined. No separate sick time bank. Considering I get sick at least 5-10 days a year, that's most of my PTO gone just from being sick. And no, working from home doesn't mean I can always work while sick. If I have the flu or COVID I'm going to be in bed.

Pros

Benefits are great, random gifts throughout the year, top notch team support

Cons

Company is so compartmentalized no one team has any idea of what is going on with another, which is specifically frustrating when it comes to pay/commission. They keep purchasing other companies without properly integrating into the existing product and have to basically re-invent how to use the full potential of said product to interact with what they already have, leaving a lot to be desired. Hiring new positions with specific goals in mind, but have the same title so are treated the same when it comes to OTE creating a substantial pay cut. Especially when they are brought in to make certain parts of the team and product better.
