Pros

Company is great for newbies and for the rest it will be quite a challenge in politics environment

Cons

Company is struggling to manage engineering across distributed teams and lost focus. It is big time barracuda should think of splitting like symantec to gain back the traction to focus on core security

Pros

Great company to learn on the job. Had a chance to be involved with some high level decisions that would not have had at other companies.

Cons

Don't feel the company has made a good transition going from private to public. There is a lot of dysfunction in areas that you can't have with a public company. Spend money on silly things and not paying employees well does not make any sense.

Way more cons than pros

Pros

-Free lunches every day, free gym and other perks (game tickets, bar inside the building.. etc.) -Young, fun culture. -Good place to get your foot in the door if you have no experience.

Cons

-All of the money made (which is not a small amount) is obviously going into the wrong hands. Unlimited marketing budget but workers (all departments from finance, engineering, and sales..) are getting paid WAY below industry standards. Also, many of the managers are former bartenders who have very limited technical knowledge. -To go off my point above- money is not being well spent. Rather than funneling all of the money into the execs and marketing, why not put it into the products? So many complaints from customers about products and no decisions to properly invest into them. -Parking sucks -You work WAY more than the average company (for much little pay.) Since lunches are catered, you are pretty much expected to only take a 30 minute lunch. Anything around an hour is looked down upon. - Very quick turnaround here. All of the good and competent workers realize in about a year or so that they could get paid much more and be valued WAY more at a different company... this is why all of the excellent sales people and engineers leave. Which is terrible for the team that is left behind.
