Pros

Good people, good leadership at a high level. The products are best in class, the sales cycle is pretty strait forward and can be short.

Cons

They do not promote often from within and when they do they do not pay competitively for the position or role promoted too. They have internal challenges with pushing deals through their internal systems that are not very flexible with customers or the sales team. Pay was not competitive with other companies in the area selling security products.

Pros

fairly lax with lots of time to do things

Cons

many. Former CEO ran things poorly and took in managers who brought along their problems and animosities with them. Not only that, they were allowed to invite their friends to come and join too, many of them owing their jobs to someone creating a bro culture. Even though top mgmt changed since the sale, its many of these people still there to this day. Most of the systems were a black box, existing engineers were mostly uncooperative to keep their knowledge to themselves, the offshore engineers in one particular country were especially bad for this. I have seen major accomplishments achieved by someone, where so many others had failed, only to get fired soon after.
