Pros

Work/life balance is amazing: the major most perk of Sonicwall life.

Cons

No proper growth investment, all of that is hamstrung from on high at the ownership level on down. Staffing level decisions are made by spreadsheet instead of with an eye for long-term outcomes. Individuals and individual groups do innovate and try to innovate, but every innovation is like a fish swimming up a ladder while people arbitrarily and randomly seem to push random fish back down.
