Pros

On paper, moving from on premise solutions to the cloud sounds like the right direction. Throw out the legacy and bring in the new shiny cloud solution.

Cons

The cloud solution gets all the focus but has yet to deliver for years and the rebranded cloud solution is a joke (let me hold your vuln's in the cloud for safe keeping). Customers are buying the on premise solutions yet development has shifted to cloud, very short window that's closing. Don't turn down other opportunities waiting on something good coming from HQ, huge turnover and layoffs abound here.

Pros

Great environment and company culture.

Cons

Only do winter interns from my knowledge, so intern period is very short.

Pros

We can essentially use AI without any limit right now. The pay and compensation is industry leading but that's how they get you to stay.

Cons

The engineering organization is technologically stagnant — from CI pipelines, to sec/ops practices and overall architecture, everything is locked into legacy practices with little room for outside perspectives. Attempts to introduce modern tools or new ideas are consistently met with resistance rather than curiosity. There's also a stark tenure gap. Most engineers leave within a year or two once they recognize the limited ability to drive change, while those who stay long-term — often 8+ years — have rarely worked outside this environment and lack exposure to broader industry practices.
