Pros

Q1 CRM, Evals, Upsells rinse and repeat Q2 CRM, Evals, Upsells rinse and repeat

Cons

Varonis may be your last Cyber Security job as they have been heavy handed in their enforcement of Non Compete clauses within the Employment Contracts. Its not unusual for these to be in place but it is unusual for an employer to send "cease and desist" while your seeking new employment post Varonis. During the reference check process Varonis will find out whom your seeking new employment with. Before you receive an offer letter they will send a letter blocking you from receiving or getting an offer even after completing every other step in the recruitment process. In essence forcing you to change career's. Forget about what you may get from signing your employment contract with Varonis. Consider what they may be taking away from you (your ability to make a living in a field you've spent your professional life in) if you choose to join. The compensation plan is below industry average and is setup where you will never reach your OTE goal and you will never be able to reconcile if you get paid on an specific opportunity If your looking for your manager to develop your skills as a SE you would be better served to look elsewhere. This is not the place to find that mentor. Your manager is a task driver that's it. There is no opportunity for personal growth and the only education you get is the boot camp for new hires. You'll get product training but professional development is nonexistent.

Pros

Benefits are great, random gifts throughout the year, top notch team support

Cons

Company is so compartmentalized no one team has any idea of what is going on with another, which is specifically frustrating when it comes to pay/commission. They keep purchasing other companies without properly integrating into the existing product and have to basically re-invent how to use the full potential of said product to interact with what they already have, leaving a lot to be desired. Hiring new positions with specific goals in mind, but have the same title so are treated the same when it comes to OTE creating a substantial pay cut. Especially when they are brought in to make certain parts of the team and product better.
