Pros

Personal Ownership of go to market strategy, best technology in Cyber Security Hands Down, Quality Engineering Team

Cons

No Marketing Dollars to grow your business or support your plan, share rooms on all corporate trips unless you are director level, your expenses are like a mail in rebate, you are required to fly to Israel for training but no one will pick you up at the Airport and you will be left to your own defenses, no regard for your safety making you stay in cheap hotels, HR is a joke, if you have a medical condition they do not care, they will break every law because they do not train their employees on anything HR related, micro management with unrealistic expectations forcing employees to lie to keep their jobs, Israel employees do not care what US employees need to be successful, the culture is awful, no perks at all.

Pros

I was lucky to work with a great team of people that I enjoyed seeing every day. I got to travel and kept a work-life balance. Some perks, like the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) in Israel; central office location; holiday gifts.

Cons

- Bad communication between departments - Most people get little to no training - Managers' hands are tied - lots of bureaucracy in terms of hiring and firing, and budget allocation. - The whole company is micromanaged by the top 2-3 execs - Pay is notoriously low and incentives are a joke - Marketing is suppressed and discouraged, if and when it exists - Sales teams are given ridiculous, increasingly-unachievable targets YoY, and Business Analysis cannot or will not explain the reasoning behind the commission structure. - Tasks change frequently, and if you're not adaptable/able to let the inconsistencies go over your head, it'll drive you crazy. - High staff turnover - Very cultural-specific mentality - if you want something, you have to make yourself heard, push for it, and make a fuss. - When raises are given (to people in the sales team), they are insultingly low.

Pros

- Great place to work for! Benefits are beyond belief! - Managers definitely give you the latitude you need to succeed - definitely NOT a micromanaged company! - Absolutely the best technology in the industry!

Cons

- Interview process can be daunting and frustrating, but it is worth it. - Marketing is lacking currently, but company is making large investments so it is improving.
