Pros

Pay is great, and some of the leaders are truly exceptional.

Cons

Truly the most toxic workplace I have ever been a part of. The CMO doesn’t seem to have any handle on his team. The organization has hemorrhaged wonderfully talented individuals. I have lost count at the number of people who have lasted under a year because of toxicity from leadership within Cortex and SASE. Unfortunately, these toxic leaders are empowered by the very top so I don’t see anything changing soon. Benefits suck as well. The dismal 401k matching and horrible insurance needs to get fixed.
