Boys Club Management

Pros

Some highly capable individual contributors doing their best despite the environment. Enterprise brand recognition still carries weight in the market.

Cons

*Management is holding their hands together to protect themselves - ready to point the fingers to you! *Unexperienced managers assigned everywhere. Coming from nowhere because he/she is an "old friend" of a colleague. Old School Boys Club is what you will see everywhere. *Massive layoffs happening almost in a quarterly basis. *I once had a late salary payment. Severely undermines trust and creates a sense of instability. Paying employees on time is a basic operational expectation of working in a corporate, and somehow this company lacked. *Most of the functional departments located at US - makes you feel always ON because inevitably the international branches need to communicate with them out of your timezone. *Catching up with AI - both selling products and workspace utilization is way behind.

Pros

All the pros left the company, what's left is mediocre. To younger employees: 2 years max, then get out of there.

Cons

Private Equity fund asset stripping, company unbearable to work in, infrastructure in the drain, no longer a serious and established cyber security company, now an AI start-up trying to make money. Massive layoffs, chaotic organisational changes, no upwards mobility and flat company structure. Terrible salary and compensation package, poor benefits scheme, no more remote work, no salary increases, meagre yearly bonus. Excuses excuses. Training and personal development prospects: on your own dime and your own time. Absent HR, absent payroll team, neglectful management. Long hours, thankless work, unreasonable targets. Negging culture. Massive client retention problem leaving in their droves, massive employee retention problem. Presenteeism, Cliquey toxic environment, isolate the quiet ones, Nepotism hires, no promotion chances. CEO is a nutcase.

Pros

Used to be a good place to work for, not anymore.

Cons

Not caring for people anymore, since AI is slowly taking over the industry and bottom-line figures is the most important thing for our PE owners.
