Pros
*Work life balance. * Work from home. * Can slack off pretty bad and no one gonna tell you anything. * No accountability so if your looking for a paycheck without much(sometimes any) effort this is a really good company. * Good PTO. * APM product doing good and is probably only saving grace.
Cons
* Below market pay, no bonus, worthless stock. * Massive layoff recently (~200 people, >10% of workforce). Rumor has it more are coming. * Market has pivoted. WAN opt is ancient in current cloud environment. * Biggest revenue generator SteelHead sales are dropping like dead fly. * Not even in top 5 in SDWAN market. * No vision by management starting from CEO. He's a dishonest person who bullshits(tried to discredit recent Bloomberg report) and fools own employees. What can you expect from a Brit anyways. * Too many and I really really mean TOO MANY WEAK Managers, Senior Managers, Directors, Senior Directors, VPs. Too much crap that they spew out on a daily basis. * Product delivery schedules slip massively(6-8 months!) but no one BATS AN EYELID. * Company has lot of debt to pay as well detailed in a recent Bloomberg article. Just google it. 22% yield on unsecured note(yep 22%!), CCC rating on notes by ratings agency which is practically junk. * Total lack of product management. Have seen a lot of them browsing jobs on LinkedIn. * SVPs have been given instructions to cut costs desperately. * Too many housewives running the show and collecting comfortable paychecks. Some of them have been with company with more than 8-10 years and would be hard pressed to find any low skilled job outside(may be data entry). A lot of them come to office to vent out about their family lives(kids schools, in-laws, vacations, just more stupid stuff) daily, non-stop and never get tired.
