Pros

I actually had a few months where I made enough to pay ALL of my bills. And another pro is I'm gone, and no longer have to stare at my laptop, swearing about all the confusion and super old people.

Cons

It's just a mess. No training. Very transient. No marketing. I mentioned the name of the company to an innovator, and he says, the old, firewall company? And then, proceeds to rave about PAN.

Pros

Great solution portfolio; smart colleagues, industry expertise, and employees willing to work as a team despite the Cons.

Cons

Low morale; no work/life balance, abnormally high turnover of employees, and EXTREME micromanagement by the CEO. The CEO makes every decision and approves EVERY penny spent which makes for very long approval cycles causing costs to rise due to rush charges for delays. It is a very bureaucratic and prolong process. Employees are not valued, empowered, trusted, or respected; I observed toxic situations. Employees cannot make informed decisions; budgets are woefully below industry standards; headcount is extremely scarce and when possible, you can only hire straight out of college. Employees’ time in the office is monitored in Israel. Employees must use a tool to request and log the hours they need to spend outside of the office for any reason. These logs are tracked and reviewed by the CEO. There is talk of wanting to make cultural changes, but I don’t see that happening without a change at the very top level. Not a fun or inspiring place to work.
