Pros

+5yrs here and have seen many good people most have gone but have good memories

Cons

Where to begin, there's a reason why during the last +9months the Glassdoor rating has been freefalling , yes there will always be a disgruntled ex-employee just as there will be HR/Corporate staffers pushing 5 star ratings to counter them but it really has been a bad decline on many fronts. Leadership are ultimately responsible, they are compensated very well and with that are supposed to lead, manage, drive, encourage and show empathy but not one of these elements exist and it’s sadly not just a few bad apples, they have hired and fired badly too many times and the reputation is in the bin amongst the industry insiders.

Pros

Nothing I can really think about

Cons

A high-profile sales leader, who was initially celebrated upon arrival, has now departed, leaving behind a trail of confusion. What happens to the famous channel strategy now ? While it may have provided some material for the CEO's AMAs, it seems unlikely that anyone will demand accountability in this fiefdom. The email justification for his departure citing reluctance to move to different location seems quite unusual. Am pretty sure that the poor guy was not allowed to get his job done, by continuous haggling from above.It's almost as if they assume we're all easily persuaded and won't question their decisions. The sales department's future in this company appears uncertain, and given the recent wave of departures, the product division is also facing challenges.It's becoming evident that both our sales and product teams are in need of a serious reassessment.Forget Quota Crushers , this place feels more like soul crushers :)

Pros

it is better to keep it empty nothing to mention.

Cons

Poor collaboration and professionalism of recent hires from Pulse Secure. Employees from Pulse Secure have been reported to be rude and unprofessional, and to have the CEO's backing to do whatever they want. They have been known to jump over managers and directors, talk to teams without letting their manager know, and make decisions for employees without their manager's knowledge or approval.
