Pros

It plays in an ok, but highly dated space (Firewalls). Trying to make a change to more relevant technologies that are not a commodity.

Cons

Compensation plans are horrible. If you ask for some clarification as to why you did not get paid, the answer will be some psycho-babble that will frustrate you to the point of not caring. This company has a horrible culture. The turnover is beyond belief. Full of folks who stay because the are comfortable with mediocrity.

Pros

The company has a great vision and made some terrific acquisitions over the past couple of years.

Cons

The compensation plans are terrible and they provide zero transparency when it comes to commission calculations. So much time is wasted fighting for what is owed to you and many people just give up.

Pros

Exciting Technology Highly Skilled engineers A lot to lear as a junior software engineer It is good to have this company in your CV

Cons

Company see employees as easy interchangeable; low salaries, minimal compensation package, a lot of politics, performance review based on zero sum game, so people start to compete with each other. As a result a lot of junior developers come and go very often

Pros

Great technological innovations but terrible execution of technology. Israel launches products too soon and before ready for consumers.

Cons

High turnover company in all areas. Especially in sales. Management treats sales people badly. Compensation plan is terrible for sales and changes every year. Bonus component of compensation is subjective and the company management frowns on giving target bonus to anyone in the company. Commissions are capped. No motivation for good sales people to exceed.
