      Company is doing poorly

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      We'll probably get acquired by somebody

      Cons

      There's a reason the company's credit rating went down severely, the CEO and CFO are making very short sighted decisions and cannot see past the nose on their faces

      Great product but culture is declining

      Account executive

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Industry leader in email security and DLP - although pricey.

      Cons

      Under new CEO and PE owners, the changes they've made are making some of their loyal employees consider leaving.

      Great until recently; But hey! it's just for more money!

      Product support engineer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The people I worked with in support are phenomenal. I couldn't ask for much better. Everyone was willing to help each other out for the most part, from the newest members to the account managers to the network teams, etc. The last day for many is the end of June, 2024.

      Cons

      Since the new CEO took position back in December, a "restructuring" is taking place that resulted in elimination of a lot of good people from their positions, replaced by cheaper elsewhere in the world. I'm expecting to see support take a nosedive, to the detriment of the customers. After the new people have been in the job for 6+ months, they'll be able to handle most of the regular items, but it takes a long time to learn the products and their nuance. Customers would do well to be patient through to the end of 2024, at least, as they learn.
