Pros

Exciting times at a growth company. Cutting edge technology which is extremelly relevent for the times. Great people to work with, and new talent always coming in. Nice perks like free catered lunch, many free snacks and drinks, and fun breakrooms. A new building is opening up that will have one large new cafe to host all employees. Pay is very competitive, with nice benefits. A configured laptop as given to me day 1. Nice job.

Cons

Growth mode means little space and rooms available, but a new building is about to open up at the end of the month. Currently no match on 401k, but that is in the plans. Good core systems, but some auxilary systems and support need to improve.

Pros

A very exciting place to be working at an incredible pace with a technology that really helps customers to gain visibility into the unknown. Virtually everybody is "Fired up!". FireEye is a very hot company in a very hot market with a very hot technology.

Cons

Pace! - trying to keep up and stay ahead can be tough. Juggling lots of balls at the same time means the risk of dropping one is high although forgiveness for dropping those balls is rampant, maybe it is too easily given.
