Pros

-Great team and people that support one another. (Large organization. This will vary across teams). -Flexible working hours and work from home. (A new office space is being built in Denver, so this flexibility could change. However, the office space will be some of the nicest and newest in Denver in over 30 years). -Unlimited PTO policy which is on par with the innovative tech companies. -Solid financial backing from VC KKR. This company is being infused with capital for growth and probably and IPO. -The Cybersecurity industry is a very interesting place to be.

Cons

-Work load for services resources can be very high. Work with your managers on this. -Variable/Bonus pay program is always changing and never can be counted on. This skews salary numbers. Make sure you get what you need in your base pay. -Internal business processes are not rolled out well causing issues in many situations. -Career paths are not well defined.
