Pros

Good central location. That's about it.

Cons

Nothing this company tells you can be trusted. They have been saying IPO since 2013. Look up the Bloomberg article with Ceo on that. Hiring so many sales people but shrinking territories. Direct sales are not happening. Marketing is terrible. PM team is failrly weak. Total unfocused path. These guys bought Gartner and Forrester (and flat out lied at times to them). Stock options are an illusion. Look up what CEO has done in the past with his older companies. Best COO Lane Bess left - why is that if they are going IPO soon?! And ask about the 'board' . CEO and his family control most of the shares. Bess left and has a seat. So no really oversight. The CMO worked at a company that got shutdown and he got booted from Google. Otherwise no security experience there. CFO claim to fame was raising money in her last company. Hmmm I wonder what she is being tasked to here? Ops team and custome support are pretty bad. They fired so many people - they just 'disappear' like they were in old school Russia! And titular micro management culture . Oh and unless you are hot and under 30 don't bother working in marketing. Consider sales instead.

Pros

Open source tech Some coworkers are smart

Cons

Let me start by saying there is no process whatsoever. Everything is all over the place. Toxic work culture. If you are applying here you will be left to do all your work to yourself and your work will never be good enough unless you are part of some group.

Pros

Company has made a name for itself, and has a very relevant product for today's needs. Very solid processes when it comes to selling/enablement

Cons

NO Honestly/ transparency to workers at all when it comes to promotions. Because this company does not prioritize employees AT ALL and management is extremely arrogant. Tons of external hiring and little consideration towards internal promotions. Then tension has left the SDR team moral extremely low with people working 2+ years with no promotion or track to a closing role... SDR management boasts of promotions on LinkedIn, but in reality, they are very few and far between... When promotions come around metrics and attainment are thrown to the wayside. It's COMPLETELY political and the bosses only like people who kiss up. It's a complete circus... If you want to kiss up and love politics, however, this place is for you. The word is getting around and they were dinged on the latest Gartner report. Stock has been falling. Good leaders and top salespeople are leaving. Zscaler's prime has came and gone.
