Pros

The pay here is competitive to other surrounding companies, and we have holdovers in our area from Sourcefire, which was a startup purchased by Cisco a few years back.

We get benefits like lunch 3 days per week, a quarterly fun fund, and PLI bonuses every 6 months.

Cons

Corporate office environment, and less soul than when I started 2 years ago. Some people have left because of this. Also, seemingly random layoffs have happened to good people. I'm not sure why their numbers got picked.

Advice to Management

Try to retain some of the small company feel that Sourcefire used to have and don't lose sight of the things that matter in the company the most. Your employees and their happiness make for more productivity.
