Pros

The company built an impressive global network and then layered security services on top of it. It’s a fairly unique position in the market. I think investors recognize that uniqueness, which is reflected in its relatively high stock valuation compared to the actual size of the business.

Cons

The product is excellent, but that’s where most of the positives end. During my time there, executive leadership changed frequently, management structures were constantly reorganized, and strategic priorities shifted regularly. The company initially promoted a partner-first go-to-market strategy, but over time it became overwhelmingly focused on direct sales again.

Pros

Exceptionally talented team. Every IC I worked with brought deep technical skills, genuine passion, and a collaborative, empathetic approach. Compensation and equity are strong.

Cons

Senior leadership lacks a clear vision, direction shifts constantly without concrete goals. Internal competition is actively encouraged by management, which creates a toxic dynamic. No 401k match. Raises and promotions are difficult to come by once you're in, and leadership feels largely out of touch with the realities on the ground.
