Pros

Good place to learn about security line of products Was a good place years ago until mgt team let go of all the quality folks trading low cost over quality

Cons

---Constant re-org which rooted from the undecisive management team ---Too late to catch up with market trend of going cloud. ---Management is out of touch with the real-world caring only about their own promotions and job security and pushes all the work to front-line folks. ---Low retention rate, used to be a different place until good people left. ---Lack of transparency, old school management style where mgt decides you follow ---Mgt team lacks tech skills to come across as persuasive to the team, this market needs people who can roll up the sleeves. ---Don't drink their kool aid about WLB since they push all the work downward

Pros

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

Cons

Some departments were not on the same page and hampered communication.
