Pros

-Work Life Balance -Wellness Days with one Friday off a month -Kind and smart coworkers -Heavy investment in D&I initiatives -Generous PTO/Medical leave policies -Transparency from most groups -Nice CEO who cares about people

Cons

-ZERO strategy or plan for the future. Unclear if this will be a security company, a CDN, or both. -Little continuity in the executive leadership level after most leaders fled. New leaders come from larger, established companies and don't seem to understand the foundational overhaul that is needed to even begin to address their plans for the future. -One or two people do the actual work, while others are simply "idea men" giving opinions. -Roles & Responsibilities are unclear throughout the company, and onboarding experiences vary from person to person. Most teams seem to have no training and expect you to sink or swim. -Constant complaints about process and standardization impeding progress, when there is none -Constantly told to deliver deliver deliver, without any real analysis of WHAT needs to be delivered and if it will actually provide value. Leads to tons of wasted time and energy. -Stock performance is worse than when they went public -New bonus structure is unclear, but will be given out as more stock -401K matching of 1K is laughable, and only added in the last year -Executive leader is known to be extremely emotional and disrupt any meeting they are in. Being known as the angry, blocking leader is not a good look. -Generally company is good about treating women well, but still has many employees that view note taking, organization, meeting scheduling, etc. as a woman's job. -CEO is leaving, unknown what the future CEO will be like.
