      The 1990s Are Calling

      Sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You can work here and do very little. Remote options.

      Cons

      Stuck in its 90s legacy, and obsessed with MIT founders and MIT. Still pushing DEI training which is linked to performance reviews… values DEI/ESG, legacy, and middle management over innovation and productivity/profit.

      Senior Management Is Out of Touch

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Front-line staff and managers are professional, courteous, helpful and hardworking.

      Cons

      Senior management in the company (VP and higher) is focused on cost cutting without understanding what front-line teams are actually doing. They don't value nor prioritize innovation and consistently fail to inspire teams downstream. There is no apparent strategy to turn the company around other than continuing to buy companies in the Security space. What does Product Management do? What new products are they working on? How are they steering the acquisition strategy? Engineering teams don't have enough resources to maintain existing products. The frustration of senior leadership is beginning to show as they beat-up on downstream teams and pressure them to deliver more while our colleagues are disappearing from layoffs each year..
