Pros

Great product line that addresses a wide variety of network security use cases.

Cons

Many components of the platform do not perform as well as competitors and its priced higher than comparable solutions. Also many of the important facets of the product can be purchased monthly for cheap, or completely free. This makes is much harder to sell Enterprise plans to a large portion of mid-market customers. The sales organization segmented nearly 3 times in a one year span. The ripple effect of these changes caused disruption in sales cycles and pipeline generation for the AE and BDR organization. Sales leadership pulled back on tech resources, tools, and updated marketing collateral which reflects the company’s overall attitude towards enabling and coaching ICs. There’s not much of a focus on proper enablement on products - too many fires to put out and all suggestions fall on deaf ears.

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.
