Business Outlook

Pros

Over the past 2 years, Mandiant/iSight leadership has almost completely taken over FireEye and the culture/morale has improved dramatically. - Fun culture and atmosphere, even for remote workers - Smart people who care about their mission - Ability to contribute and growing internal mobility - Good pay - Reasonable work/life balance in most functions - Solid and reasonably priced benefits

Cons

- Some (nice but non-essential) perks removed as they cost cut towards profitability - free lunch, some snacks, etc - No matching 401k

Thank you for your great ideas on how to improve life at FireEye! With our new go-to-market strategy, we are changing the way we market all of FireEye’s hard work and innovation. While we don’t currently offer a 401(k) match, we do provide our employees with very competitive benefits beyond the foundational rewards, such as Employee Stock Purchase Plan, generous PTO, paid parental leave, professional development opportunities and many other perks. We continuously review our benefits, and the more successful we are as a company, the more we can consider providing additional options such as 401(k) matching.

Pros

Great leaders and amazing technology.

Cons

401K match. Compensation is significantly below market. Many good engineers left; more could follow if stock/benefits do not improve.

We appreciate your input about the direction of FireEye and how to make FireEye an even better place to work. Although we do not offer a 401k match at this time, it is on our radar and something for consideration after profitability. Please know that we take great care in reviewing our total rewards - ranging from cash compensation and allowances, benefits and perks, equity, ESPP, recognition programs, tuition reimbursement and so forth – and will continue to provide rewards that we can afford and that our employees value and want. The more successful we are as a company, the greater rewards we can offer our employees. Thanks again for the review!

Pros

At the start it was the best, there were an excellent leader with the right plan. The pay was ok since it's 50% basic and 50% commission. It's the leader in Cybersecurity and one of the best until now. It used to be the only solution for zero day attacks. Most of the banks must have the solution and some of the government as well.

Cons

When kids are managers there is no limits for childish decisions. Then you will know it's time to move on. The higher management unfortunately they don't care anymore except for numbers. They just see or hear what they want only.
