Pros

Free lunches. Technology pretty good. People are smart.

Cons

CEO front man devised second IPO to make billions. Employees can't sell high and get almost nothing. Stock was at $90 a share. Then 2/3 of value gone when CEO sold so many shares. No loyalty to the company at top. Head of Engineering thinks you expendable. Hours very long. No recognition for contributions. No work and life balance. Make up processes as they are going. They spend $ like in a sink down the drain and not enough customers. Sales cycle way too long. Not making $ fast enough to keep up with spending. POVs give product to customers for months for free. Many don't buy because the PoV shows them this exposure. Office in Milpitas. Terrible commute. It stinks in Milpitas.

Pros

We are in the cyber security industry that has been showing sustained growth for over a decade. It trumps the spikes in growth of specific internet technologies and social media tech and cuts across laptops, desktops, mobile, and cloud. The bad guys keep evolving with new technologies and security companies have a constant need to innovate at a much faster pace than any other mission critical industry. With excellent people, and great technologies, FireEye is a great place to work.

Cons

It is hard work here but most employees can see what they are working towards. After all it is a fast growing startup and its fun.
