Pros
Free Beer in the kitchen, free lunch at the end of the month ( even though it's the same thing every month ) benefits are decent, pay is just ok. Work environment is decent, the people are all great. Some managers try the best they can.
Cons
Pretty much too many to list, but here are some of the biggest cons. In over 6 years at Sophos, raises were far and few between. Being well underpaid seems to the norm at sophos and the way upper management sees is, that's just fine. They could care less about giving merit increases to good employees. Mostly you hear things like "hey at least you have a job in these tough times" and "it's pretty bad out there man". Managers giving you comments like these to make you think you have it good at sophos. You start to think you are worthless and getting a better paying job is just not going to happen or you. To my surprise I got a much better paying job so I left the dump in the dust. Micromanagement all over the place in sales, lay offs all over the place, a ceo who is known for driving things into the ground and feels out sourcing support is important even though he is making everybody think support is important. They fail to understand the over all experience is what keeps customers, your reputation is what makes customers talk about you in good ways to other customers. People are leaving left and right, I would bet in 2 years sophos is gone. Company has no direction at all, they make you think they are this big time player, but in reality they are a small fry trying to compete with the big boys.
