Pros

The company has a great culture. Higher management and board members definitely have a common vision that the most valuable asset is the people. They promote innovation in almost every aspect and this keeps the company relevant and leading in the cybersecurity industry; this also helps to build an always-learning environment which is great for an engineering employee.

Cons

As usual in IT related jobs and mainly the cybersecurity industry , the work/life balance has room for improvement. There's a sense of 24x7 on-call duties, never ending activities among training for skills, certifications and products and BAU task that are quite handy for a regular SE in the industry. Although sometimes this is overwhelming, one might get use to it as there's always passionate people in the team that makes it easier.

Pros

- On target OTE and uncapped commissions - Great overall work culture - A lot of cool Field marketing events - Ability to expense dinners, entertainment, gifts for clients - Great company vision and a broad security fabric portfolio with several third party validations for a well-known cybersecurity brand makes it easy to sell and be successful.

Cons

- New business quotas are the same for every seller at least on my team, who all have very different territories, some with more white space heavy accounts that can be much more challenging to hit quota compared to other territories. Quotas went up by 20% from previous year. - Too many internal systems to navigate - processes and sales enablement tools could be more efficient - You can be the top performer in your US sales segment, and still not make it to President's Club because of the way it's structured - competing against different segments and only top 3-4% get to go each year. Rewarding top performers in general is an area needing improvement in my opinion.
