Pros

Good pay relative to other companies. Management is very good about letting people work from home. Good medical benefits and generous vacation package

Cons

Very difficult to get promoted. Unless you have an advocate pushing for you, you are on your own. VP's often have no real understanding of projects they manage. Work gets delegated down until ultimately only the folks at Manager and Senior Manager level are the ones getting anything done. The company has gone through massive layoffs over the past 2 years and there are reorg's every 6 months. It is impossible to feel that there is any job security in an environment like this.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
