Pros

My time at FireEye has been like riding a wild roller coaster ride. I've been here for years and went through the twists and turns of becoming a publicly traded company. We're now focused on becoming profitable and the ride has changed to into something a little more controlled but still fun nevertheless. With Dave DeWalt at the helm or Kevin Mandia today, you always felt both cared deeply about the company and the employees that drive it. Great team around the globe. Those that shouldn't have been here in the first place are mostly washed out now. It's just a phenomenal group of people to work with everywhere you go, and you'll have trouble finding smarter people in cyber security at any tech company. Benefits are good, pay is good. The CEO is a major Pro for FireEye.

Cons

No matching 401K. Sadly somewhat common in youngish tech companies. Hopefully this will change down the line. The path to profitability is a little painful at times.

Their IT department was initially challenging to work for but once I got in the groove it was fairly smooth sailing.
