Pros

My paychecks didn't bounce. Healthcare was okay. 401k was okay. Coworkers made the stupidest bearable, sometimes.

Cons

The best and the brightest do not work at Sonicwall. Speak up and disagree that things don't work? You will be fired. It doesn't matter if you are a top technical talent or not. You will be out. Small layoffs continue so they don't have to report anything. People are terrified for their jobs. Why are glassdoor ratings so high? They literally paid people a year ago to leave reviews. Obviously those reviews wouldn't be negative because you had to prove you posted to get your cash. Don't believe me? Go through the reviews and notice a huge spike of positive reviews all at the same time. It is really sad to see Sonicwall head the direction it has. It had so much potential, but all they care about is money/PE. They don't want to fix the problems in products, see NSM. It used to be a good place to work. Even with the previous CEO it was a lot better even though he was extremely vulgar. At least you knew where you stood. The new CEO is the complete opposite. He will lie to your face and then just throw you out of the company. It happened time and time again.
