Pros

For the first three years I worked at FireEye, things were absolutely fantastic. I moved to FireEye from an IR role at another company because whenever I would go on an IR and FireEye was there, it made my job a cakewalk. It was a no-brainer. I had a position I loved and I was contributing enormous amounts between various different teams. I got to work with tons of different, great, talented people and management at that time seemed to be good. Compensation was great and I loved every moment of my job.

Cons

A new manager came in and caused a domino-effect dissolution of our team. Literally everyone left the company or left the team. I went to a new team where I was interviewed for one very specific thing (my forte) and then was put on projects that had absolutely nothing to do with it - a senior employee on my team doing grunt work. The manager was completely unapproachable to the point that he would be taking a break and I would ask for five minutes of his time whenever he had a chance and he was always too busy for me. I had to rely on the most senior (by time in position) guy on the team - I'd consider him my peer skill-wise - in order to get anything across to the manager. More management shake-ups caused more problems and lots of attrition. Immature management with no vision, acquisitions of companies that now far exceed the market cap of the company as a whole, and difficulty integrating those acquisitions caused a lot of problems.

Pros

best products, good pay, autonomy, moving in the right direction. tech is second to none.

Cons

lots of burnout, tons of churn, older employees moving on, overlap causes some of the acqui-hires to have to move on.
