Stagnating company lead by sclerotic management
Pros
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.
Cons
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.
