Pros

Compensation is not bad. Some coworkers are talented and friendly.

Cons

The product itself isn't horrible; it's just that the product team isn't leading it with a clear vision. New features have no market; simply provide what customers require, not what you want! There is a lot of technological debt, thus resolving product issues should be the first goal. There are WAY TOO MANY senior directors, directors and managers; it's a joke, as others have pointed out. Most of them receiving a high salary yet producing nothing, taking credit for other people's work after the project is completed, deprives you of acknowledgment for your efforts, then promoted a few times within 2-3 years. Employee will not have the opportunity to speak with upper management; everything is filtered through middle management. No career advancement.

Pros

Worked with some very good people as part of the SE team. My manager was very good and always there when needed. Product is as advertised.

Cons

Product for the enterprise. Lacking mid market features. Product direction controlled by a handful of people with zero input from field. Exec's not listening to the field or people below them. Channel and marketing teams stretchered beyond limits. Roadmap nonexistent more tactical then strategic.

I appreciate the time taken to provide this candid review. Over the last six years, we have been laser-focused on building a product that is now time-tested.. As we continue to grow, we will look for opportunities to enter new markets - you will see this happen, but this change does not happen overnight, nor does it happen in a vacuum. You mentioned the channel and marketing teams were stretched thin, and I%E2%80%99m sure you%E2%80%99ll be pleased to know that since you wrote your review, we%E2%80%99ve expanded those teams significantly and we%E2%80%99re investing heavily in headcount to keep up with growing demand from the organization. The company as a whole is focusing inward and committed to listening to all employees, in all locations, and across all levels, so we can continue to move forward together.

Pros

Compensation is quite good, benefits are good. WLB not too bad. Product is well positioned in the zero trust space.

Cons

-With yet another round of funding, I'm no longer sure if we're ever going public. The options they give have zero value if we never IPO. What's next? Series G H I J K L M N?????? -I've never seen a company with SOOO many directors and managers, it's a joke. We're only 400+ employees. Do you really need that many "leadership" people who pretty much do no work???? I'd say only 5% of the employees do actual work, the other 95% just put on a good show while earning very high salary and taking credits of other people's work. -Believe it or not there's still double standard. If you're not from a certain theatre good luck getting assistance from other teams and additional headcounts.
