Pros

Data Discovery being a pillar of any security program

Cons

The company has potential, but it's not all gold and shiny. Despite being a top performer in my department, I was unexpectedly downgraded in my position without any clear explanation or opportunity to improve. HR reached out to me without offering feedback on what I could do better, which felt like a passive invitation to leave rather than a genuine effort to support my growth. This unprofessional handling of employee relations leaves much to be desired. The recent management shift in Professional Services has also introduced a micromanaging approach, far from being the company style until mid-2024. I've noticed that this has limited creativity and independence across the board. Additionally, the lay off process often felt abrupt and could benefit from more consideration for employees' contributions.

Pros

Product quality has significantly improved over the years. Scanning every type of data for sensitive elements is hard. Rare the product loses in head to head fair evaluations.

Cons

Market has been negatively impacted by competitors spending way more $ to buy influencers like CISOs & Resellers.
