Pros

Pre-IPO, this was a very different company. Collaboration, rapid innovation, great culture. Securing their clients every day was the passion everyone had. Great stories of saving/protecting clients from breaches. Was proud to work there.

Cons

Post-IPO they are a world of revolving door leadership changes, short-term revenue focus and, according to HR, 1 in 4 employees don’t last a year. Infighting/blame across functions, lack of accountability, slow progress on new innovations, massive cost-cutting in key areas just to make quarterly numbers. For employees, little or no mentorship, little upward mobility, and few if any perks for the very long and expected days. Toxic.
