Pros

-Quick turnaround of expenses and freedom to do creative marketing activities. That will probably go away soon though.

Cons

Too many to list, but the lowlights were: -Absurd Micro-management. 70% of your time will be spent on non-sales releated activities. -Bizarre and cult like culture that frowns upon feedback or different opinions. It's their way or the highway! Very inexperienced management teams. System engineers are field marketing reps and not SE's....lol -Senior Management has fed the org a pipe dream IPO that will probably never come to fruition given current market dynamics. -Let's be clear, this is a Sales and Marketing company first. Hardly anybody that works here has an actual background in cybersecurity. They invest very little in R&D. They prefer people with a storage industry background so that nobody realizes the tech is extremely underwhelming. As a matter of fact, nobody has ever been able to test their actualy technology! And that's the way they want it..... -They've way overhired over the past two years. I would expect some layoffs in 2022. -Horrendous ROI versus incumbent endpoint protection vendors that can now manage their own advanced XDR platforms and offer similiar services. -Not relevant in the Large Enterprise at all. Mostly a play for the smallest SMB's >250 employees. They're trying to force it through additional sales and marketing but the strategy is failing miserably. Very few referenceable Fortune 1000 companies if any at all.

Pros

The first couple years I was here it was incredible, The coworkers you will work with are INCREDIBLE The people are what make this company

Cons

Senior leadership has completely tanked company culture and couldn't be more apathetic about it. It feels like senior leadership is literally trying to make peoples lives miserable and they just don't care anymore all their care about is the money lining their pockets. I was discriminated against here and nothing was done other than talking to the managers. So much for zero tolerance for discrimination unless it's a manager. They don't trust their employees whatsoever to be autonomous and have to micro manage everything that they do. They have absolutely no quality assurance, most of the products you will touch are broken and don't work properly and you get to explain to customers why it doesn't work, it's embarrassing. There's no service continuity either, they will release a new internal tool that is completely broken and just tell everyone to deal with it.
