Vantaggi

Some really good, supportive middle management and tech staff in the company, going way beyond to support their customers. Good perks including private healthcare and good pension scheme. WFH even before the pandemic. Some great teams with a strong customer ethic doing great things.

Svantaggi

Where do I start? As other reviews have stated, there are not enough developers to keep up with our competition. Management still has old fashioned ideas about what security is and commitment to cloud products is paying lip service. Company already overtaken by PAN and soon to be overtaken by Fortinet. One senior exec told a room of people at a Town Hall that he had missed his targets for six consecutive quarters, who gets away with this? Cloud R&D totally maxed out all of the time, no slack in the system to go back and fix bugs in products, they have to move on to the next "me too" feature. Spend some of the $4B you have in the bank that you boast about at every quarterly earnings call on keeping the company relevant. Comp plans are so complicated that even Stephen Hawking can't work them out. If they can stiff you on commission or bonuses, they will. External training done on a shoestring, so any cloud training will need to be done in your own time and on your own dime.

Vantaggi

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Svantaggi

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
