Pros

80% of colleagues are nice to deal with.

Cons

The laughing stock that is the Pulse Secure employees. Zero knowledge, zero support and internally getting found out. Teams are counting down the days till they are gone. Overall standards of this place are appalling. Lot of folk in leadership positions that clearly shouldn't be there. Most sales leaders are your call centre mentality micro managers. They add very little value. Marketing are so over stacked, tripping over one another. Zero help to anyone except themselves. Most tech companies spend money on sales enablement training or methodology, we've designed our own, comical. The renewals team are kept locked away like Bart Simpsons evil twin brother in that episode of the Simpsons. Solutions engineering team are scarily unorganised. Slashed budgets, starving the company, this place is not an enjoyable spot to be. The only reason why people are staying is they have stocks vesting, they've no other options or they are bluffing it in a role they are not fit for. Nepotism is the common theme throughout these reviews and its absolutely the case. No structure, no consistency, no hope. Avoid!

Pros

Amazing office space in Charlotte with a strong emphasis on work-life balance. There are plenty of social events and networking opportunities that help employees stay engaged and build relationships across different business units. The recent IT reorganization has created a unique opportunity to participate in system and process design initiatives. While this level of change and transformation may not appeal to everyone, it offers valuable experience for those who enjoy shaping new processes and driving organizational improvements. I am optimistic about the direction of the organization and confident in the vision and leadership of the new IT management team.

Cons

Career advancement opportunities can sometimes feel limited within a satellite office environment, and promotion paths are not always clearly defined. Employees seeking long-term growth may benefit from having proactive career development conversations with leadership. The recent IT reorganization has introduced a period of transition, resulting in some uncertainty and lower morale across parts of the organization. The department is currently in a rebuilding phase, and new employees should expect to contribute to the implementation of new processes, systems, and ways of working. Compensation appears to be somewhat below market rates for certain roles, which may be a consideration for candidates prioritizing salary growth.
