Providing balance, ensuring wellness and enabling opportunities for learning and development on an individual basis are critical priorities and paramount to our success as a team. We are dedicated to supporting health and wellness and have a wealth of resources available to you from meditation and yoga app reimbursement and discounted gym memberships to paid health insurance that generously covers therapy with a professional, and a confidential 24/7 hotline. Most importantly it is critical that we take advantage of the opportunities created to support each other and speak openly about the graphic content we sometimes see as tragic events unfold around the world. Your managers and the People Team are always available to you to continue the conversation.

Pros

* Differentiated technology platform with real-time intelligence capabilities, particularly in the physical security and threat detection space

Cons

* Frequent leadership changes have made it difficult to maintain consistent strategic direction * Company initiatives often reset before prior efforts fully mature, creating execution gaps * Senior leadership structure can feel top-heavy, which at times slows decision-making and accountability * Market positioning in cybersecurity may not be as strong or clearly differentiated as competitors * Organizational changes have led to disruption and uncertainty for employees during transition periods * In some cases, expectations during the hiring process did not fully align with the day-to-day reality of the role * Strategic messaging is strong, but execution and follow-through can lag behind stated priorities
