Pros

Tea, Gossips for everything. Attractive HR Policies which don't make any sense.

Cons

HR posts the reviews on glassdoor by itself which is quite possible because they don't do anything right. Now, No funding for Network Security Business Unit so again higher management is planning to do lay-off. Be careful if Joining FireEye
