Pros

Pay was decent, and that's about it

Cons

Leadership made decisions that made no sense (example - instead of purchasing a tried and true SIEM, force a product with thousands of false positives a day to work because the product team claimed "AI"); managers would empire build vs. collaborate; salary stayed flat all 5 years. direct manager had no business being in his position

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
