Pros

Good Solutions Architects, engineers and sales folks.

Cons

Management supremely favors those who have been established there. High turnover for sure. When I was there, they had antiquated practices and outdated methods of sales and forecasting. HR is a joke has has no clue on many things HR would need to be privy on. Management lied when they promised to train and groom new employees only to dismiss them with no prior warning - very cavalier, unprofessional, subtle and disingenuous.

Our mission for our employees is to create a work environment that encourages creativity, fosters growth and rewards success. These are the core principles we use as a foundation to make sure we are setting up each team and every team member up for success. For our SA team, we strive to foster their growth through peer mentoring, internal training, partner trainings, certification courses, and exposure to multiple customers. We have found this combination of activities to be very effective and we are disappointed to hear your experience was so different from so many other team members in terms of fostering growth. The methods and tools used by the Sales team do not always make sense to those outside the department, but we can assure you we are using the same principles for that team to set them up for success—which includes implementing the most efficient and effective processes possible. Our employees are family which makes your “Advice to Management” particularly painful to read. We have internal paths in place to voice concerns to direct managers - along with escalation all the way up to the Senior Management/ownership team - because the opinions of our employees are so important to us. Based on your concerns, it appears these paths were underutilized and led you to feel disconnected. Thanks for your feedback. Best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

They are focused on security and are effiecient. Coworkers have worked their over a decade and I see hires get moved around to other positions.

Cons

I questioned the way coworkers got terminated and if what got told afterwards to coworkers was accurate.
