Pros

Fully remote, reasonable severance from layoffs.

Cons

Repeated and drastic reduction of staff on a near quarterly basis. No career mobility, no pay or title changes, but the work does get moved to you. There's no solid vision for a future state. Just business jargon and marketing terms to feed the perception we're stable. Ideas of how to move forward post-merger seem to be rescinded as quickly as they're spun up. Good colleagues have left in search of companies that will properly compensate and feel more stable. Tooling in this company is an absolute nightmare with disparate systems. Moral is low from so many roles being offshored and rumors about more cuts to continue this trend. The last 2 points are probably not too dissimilar from many other companies that go through mergers or just how the job market is overall, but there's something to be said abouy the rate in which this company bleeds money in constant acquisitions, TSAs, and duct tape solutions to make it hobble along. All of which funnel back into their need to make cuts to staff and tooling. Which has led to burnout and knee-jerk decisions has made drastic impacts on the customer experience. On and industry level. This isn't the feild for lukewarm experts to make calls on cybersecurity operations. The way our customers have responded to many of these changes is a pretty clear illustration of the questionable nature of our business leaders.

Pros

The ICs working here are great people. The direct managers are doing their best.

Cons

I felt like I was working for a fake company. Onboarding, pay, benefits, were all very haphazard; I had to reach out to get anything done, and I missed 3 months of retirement pay because... Well I don't know because I never got an answer. The company itself doesn't feel real. Who actually works at LevelBlue? All the people I ever spoke to were from one of their acquisitions, so any help I needed was hard to get since they also only really knew their own segment of this holding company, nobody knows who the company is run by. Finally, the work itself. I don't even know what to do anymore. They bought our product from another company, and then...nothing. Training is some quizzes on a single product (one of their other acquisitions) and then a bunch of slideshows about "the future". As a sales org employee, your commissions and pay are tied to sales made; however there's no support, vision, or knowledge to answer questions like, "what is the future of this product?" "What do I tell my current customers?" "What should we sell them to keep them?" They bought a highly specialized technology and it's just sitting there. The highly specialized employees who work on it are wondering if their product even has a future. Ultimately, it felt like what it is; a Private Equity deal gone wrong
