Pros

It's an incredible company from a technology and differentiation perspective. Publicly traded, growing quickly, and incredible list of global customers. The teams, Director and below, are hard working, passionate, and striving to make a better internet.

Cons

In the past year, the new CRO has been systematically erasing diversity from his direct leadership team - especially women - to hire "buddies" they've worked with at previous companies. Women leaders have been let go without much warning/explanation - even after receiving an award during the last company meeting. Job positions are barely posted/not announced before immediately being filled by someone "they already know". Interviewers are being forced to take candidates they do not want.

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.
