Pros

The company is a great place to work, especially during your initial years. It offers a supportive environment, good work-life balance, and opportunities to build a solid foundation in your career. However, the company has been gradually falling behind its competitors due to a lack of innovation and strategic direction. Unfortunately, previous CEOs failed to drive meaningful change or adapt to the evolving market, which has left the company struggling to keep pace. While it’s still a good place to start, long-term growth and stability seem uncertain unless strong leadership and innovative thinking are introduced.

Cons

The company has quite a few long-timers, which can be supportive in terms of knowledge sharing, but at times resistant to change, slowing down fresh ideas and innovation. Office politics tend to influence decisions more than merit, which can affect growth opportunities and team morale. There's a noticeable level of micromanagement, limiting ownership and creativity for individual contributors. Innovation is quite limited, and the company seems to lack a clear direction or vision for the future, which can make long-term growth feel uncertain.

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.
