Pros

The product is competitive. It's highly ranked by Gartner, and the overall market for SSE/SASE is a good one to be in.

Cons

- Big problem with churn. Company has likely peaked at current ARR level - Stability and product quality is questionable in big deployments - Typically lose to bigger, publicly traded competitors - Not much differentiation in the product that customers care about - Solution is complex and not suited for smaller companies - Culture has taken a nosedive recently. Not a fun place to work. - Repeated rounds of layoffs and micromanagement of expenses point to profitability issues - Lack of understanding of sales and GTM from CEO down - No IPO on the horizon. Company issues "RSUs" which are not vested until a liquidity event (you lose them all if you exit the company).

Pros

-CEO is extremely forward-thinking, but still seems very genuine and practical. That culture trickles down. -Great customer solutions, so I can compete toe-to-toe and know that it doesn't have to start with pricing concessions, politics and FUD around competition, to obscure product shortcomings. -Benefits are outstanding, IMO. -There seem to be many opportunities to advance, and I have seen a lot of internal promotions in my first 30 days. -Culture is great, and has a strong foundation, but I can already see some polish wearing off at the employee level. You can't put wrong people in place and expect them to pay it forward.

Cons

-I have offered up three referrals and not one has received any follow-up outside of the confirmation email. -No 401K match, but I hear rumors.
