Pros

Market leader for the binary management area Company moved to security area a few years ago, and even though it's still a bit far from the competitors, the strategy seems to be right.

Cons

"More similar to a cult than a company", this title summarizes what this company is, and can explain all the positive comments you will find, most of all the ones referring to the culture. You are either a member of this cult or you are not. There is no half-mesures. There are many clues that reveal a toxic culture: micromanagement, favouritism, blaming culture, people stressed out and overwhelmed... However, they will alway refer to the "Codex", keeper of the company's values, but it's no more than a dead letter. The middle management is not there to help you overcome the challenges that you will have to deal with in your journey. They are there to ensure that you accomplish with the target that you have been assigned to, no matter what. And I've been direct witness of this. If you're looking for an "employee-first" company, this is definitely not the right choice. My last advice is that you better do the effort to review the bad comments (as the good ones, in this kind of companies, you can imagine they come from internal campaigns to green the image), and try to reflect if you would be able to work in an environment like this. Then you make your decision.

Pros

Great People - You can rely on your coworkers Great Culture - Everyone has a go getter attitude, very willing to help. Fun and frequent work events Great Compensation - Market rates + RSUs Lots of room to grow - Company is growing, offers and supports moving up and even transitions roles Work life balance - Work life balance is good Training - lots of time to ramp up. Very surprised and impressed by how much time they give you to get ready to work on your own. Challenging - This might be a negative for some people, but the work is challenging, a lot is expected of you.

Cons

Not too many cons from my perspective. Probably the best corporate job I've ever had. Training - While I mentioned this as a pro. I felt the training was long and difficult to retain. Most of the learning comes from doing your job Challenging work, but if you can hang with it. It is very rewarding
