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.

Pros

Company is well known and has good solutions for security market. They work with you and look to retain employees. Can make decent money if the cards fall right.

Cons

Constant changes to sales targets and processes. Salesforce, rainking and other applications are underutilized to the point that they are almost non existent. No marketing support. Company is engineering focused and believe sales should be a given with the right product. Changes to management have led to employee attrition, trying to become more like Cisco for their next growth phase.
