Pros
Compensation and benefits are very good. Respect for work/life balance is driven from the top down. The organization is flat, moves quickly and lacks bureaucracy which makes it very easy to move initiatives forward and get results. The leadership has an open door policy which is truly open. Ken and Michael Xie are some of the best technologists in their field but truly humble and grounded. Industry-leading technology and and focus on innovation across the company, consistent growth and the company has an excellent long-term opportunity.
Cons
The company gets a bad rap for marketing which sometimes is more than it deserves. Yes, it has it challenges and it is primarily a technology driven company but marketing change is a constant in the SV - Check Point, Proofpoint and others recently had CMOs stay less than a year.
