Pros
The company has a clear strategy and vision since the new CEO arrived 18 months ago, he defined a compelling roadmap that is welcome by customers and partners. The velocity and agility are exciting. The market starts to be mature about some of our most disruptive solutions for cyber, our threat intel makes a big difference and we have both very small (a few hundreds users) to massive customers (hundreds of thousands of users) that put it at the heart of their cyber defense strategy. The whole company believes there is a huge potential for the future, Infoblox keeps recruiting. It is a growing company, profitable, and still a lot to explore. There's a good DNA at Infoblox, this is a company where people know their stuff, still with a number of employees (>2k) that makes it easy for each person to be identified by the top management. This is a company where every person can have an impact, that listens to feedback and tries to act on it. The C-levels are transparent in their communication, they acknowledge when something needs improvement and recognize the people who make things happen. The members of the board (CEO, CRO, CFO/COO etc. , the VPs) are all trying to help when we call out things they need to pay attention. The engagement surveys show it. So not everything is perfect, for sure, but when they're not, we can call them out at any level of the field. The products are most of the time rock solid and the reputation is good. If we have a customer with a technical issue, the escalation is strong and our experts are helping, 've seen some customers use us to diagnose what went wrong even the issue was not caused by us. Personally joining is the best decision I've made in the last years.
Cons
Internally the company still has significant progress to make in its IT tools. Sometimes it is not easy to quote or get proposals out for administrative reasons. Infoblox c-levels got the point and they're working on the IT plus recruited a quoting team to help. It has been a transactional company for a while, so we're still trying to improve to consolidate and have a strategic standpoint. Sales tools, support teams, there's investment to accompany the growth but it was highly needed ! In some respects, Infoblox can be seen as a mature company, in some others, it's a start-up. I've seen infoblox as quite intense because everyone is very engaged, but it should normalize. There is no crazy pressure from the top management but a lot to do.
