Pros

Got to work with some really smart and friendly colleagues. The product itself is pretty interesting, and I learned a lot from my teammates. Certain roles have better pay compared to other tech companies.

Cons

Many employees are burnout. The focus on the bottom line and financial metrics is noticeable, with people not feeling like they're at the center of the strategy. I left a while back, and it looks like more people are leaving too. Retention seems to be an issue. Career progression is quite limited. Work-life balance isn't great. You'll be expected to work long hours.

Pros

- Strong platform - Mostly friendly and smart people - Good salary, but substandard benefits

Cons

- Strong culture of favoritism: if you’re not an OG or coming in from Palo Alto, you’ll face an uphill battle in sales. - Sales culture is terribly toxic, political, and cliquey, especially with the Palo Alto Networks invasion. - Ridiculous internal processes and poorly designed tools (still use more spreadsheets than tools, quotes can take weeks and I’m not kidding) - Zero sales tools (No Outreach, Gong, good luck even getting Zoom Info) - Substandard BDR team with 12:1 ratios of BDR to AE. Got zero set meetings in over 1 year with our team’s BDR.
