Pros

None to say the least.

Cons

1.Highly bureaucratic management and nepotism exist across the company. 2.Lot of un-productive veteran resources projecting themselves as leaders in the company ,but doing nothing and adding burden to the company and creating hurdles to the company's cause.These leaders only exist because company don't know how to deal with them :( .These are the people take calls and run the show :(,so cant expect any miracles! 3.Absolutely no growth with in the company due to rigid middle and high management structure.No place for the real contributors to grow in the organization. 4.Employees quitting and running away from the company mainly because they are feeling not heard and seeing no future for the company. 5.Youngsters, please stay from this company to save your efforts and energy for something meaningful and futuristic jobs. 6. No value for the real contributors as Veteran hide everything from the top management and promote their sycophants.

Pros

If mediocrity is your style, this is the place to be.

Cons

Leadership team is out of touch. Environment is overly political, siloed and innovation is actively discouraged. No 401K match, medical is expensive, and employee incentive plans are designed to save the company money.

Pros

Work from home is a decent plus. Pay is okay.

Cons

No unified message after acquisition of Cylance. Not a "real" cybersecurity company. Too many offerings to sell, but most don't work. No advancement opportunities. Reported manager issues and HR did nothing. Pay not in line with industry. John Chen is mostly focused on his bottom line.
