Pros

decent technology, decent technology, decent technology, decent technology, decent technology, decent technology,

Cons

A bit of a good-ol-boys/gals club. Fit in and cope or stand by and watch as weak managers treat employees with appalling lack of foresight and ignorance.

Pros

A few genuinely good, hardworking people still trying to make a difference.

Cons

Leadership has destroyed the culture that made this company special. No structure, no strategy, and zero investment in people. Promotions and opportunities go to favorites, not talent. Experienced employees pushed out and replaced with unqualified insiders. Morale is at an all-time low and turnover is constant.

Pros

Still a market leader in security.

Cons

Private equity is destroying this company. Cuts, decreasing features, bugs, support, it’s all moving in the wrong direction.
