Business Outlook

Pros

Very collaborative Folks generally pull for one another Autonomous self-starter types can find their own niche here if they’re disciplined Love to push the innovation envelope

Cons

Middle managers have no idea how to lead Backend systems are a joke Feedback loops almost nonexistent Heavily siloed departments lead to wasted efforts and ideas CAMs don’t add much value (few are an exception) Need to seriously audit and refactor the entire codebase for sake of modernity, quality, and security Lots of rework on products Lots of overlap Questionable product decisions (GtM) Many abandoned products throughout portfolio beg the question of whether we’re closely watching the market, whether we correctly anticipate trends (usually behind the market), and can make the correct decision to collapse niche products into others Few career advancement opportunities Tendency to hire retreads from Cisco who’ve not focused primarily on cyber for most or any of their careers CEO sits on the Board
