Pros

Product consistently recognized as a market leader in both SASE and SSE. Opportunity to collaborate with hardworking and talented colleagues globally. Company culture encourages risk-taking and innovation. Amazing collaboration taking place day to day at the worker level. Sanjay excels at communicating his philosophy and how it applies at all levels. Customer-centricity is a strong point. The fun work environment is a highlight. Strong emphasis on work-from-home opportunities and work-life balance.

Cons

Transparency has suffered significantly with multiple rounds of abrupt layoffs, each initially presented as the last, followed by more people leaving a few weeks later. This has resulted in a significant loss of talent over the past year with no apparent resolution. The remaining employees are now doing the work of multiple people with limited guidance on the future. Frequent and abrupt cost-cutting measures implemented with little notice. Current leadership appears ill-equipped to handle challenges and opportunities. Poor communication from management, often contradictory or quickly reversed. Lack of clear strategy or direction. Project and process management are used as nouns, not verbs. All are inhibited by mid-senior level managers consistently not showing up for their own meetings and, when they are present, offering little constructive feedback. Recent decisions appear knee-jerk and could damage the pace of progress. The company strives for a no-politics environment, but recent instability has allowed some bureaucracy to creep in and morale is on the decline.

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.
