Pros

The best parts are the high caliber of technical people along with some good products. If you're in a technical team, then that team is probably very competent and has good people. Your direct manager could be okay too (but there is a risk he'll be a bozo). Fortunately, he won't stick around more than 2-3 years at most because there will be a re-org.

Cons

Radical cut to benefits in the last 12 months: medical, 401k. No meaningful salary increases for many years. The further up you get in management, the more dysfunctional and clueless they are. It's like people with no skill and just an MBA are running the company.

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.
