Pros

Great access to technical training and certifications. Working with the best technology in the industry. Unparalleled total compensation package. etc.

Cons

For some time, the corporate strategy has been to outsource work to business partners and lay-off corporate technicians. They are sticking to this model even through the recent acquisition. Rumor has it that even the support engineer work is being moved "offshore".

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.
