Pros

In the hot sase and ztna market with a good brand recognition. Also entering new frontiers with zcp (though playing catchup with palo alto networks with me too tech)

Cons

Exactly same problem as others have called out. Good product team until recently when wrong leaders from legacy companies were hired who brought their own army of sub par people. PM managers are busy labeling their subordinates work as their own to get more credit (writing email to ceo without acknowledging those who are doing work) but same people lack depth when technical questions are asked. There are 2 layers of management and then a functional PM and those are now leaving one by one. Expect more yes men and few doers in future, feel bad for engineering though. It's toxic and stay away, unless you have godfather who are joining from certain companies (even then introspect and ask yourself if it's worth it)

Pros

The pay and ESOP is good

Cons

Toxic management structure. Unnecessary archaic practices. Employee feedback is not at all considered by the upper management. If you get a bad manager, there is nothing more you can do.
