Pros

Lots of really smart, overworked engineers with tons of potential. The company’s customer base is growing fast, and the product they deliver is a game-changer in the endpoint security industry.

Top-notch Healthcare PPO 250 Plan through Anthem Blue Cross.

Cons

Toxic leadership at the Director level.

If you aren’t being a hero 24/7 as an engineer, you aren’t worth their time to simply take advantage of and steal the glory from. Management shows no value in project management or prioritization.

Most teams simply make a habit of jumping from fire to fire, and never focusing on the future stability of the company or its technology.

Aside from that, the bonuses are small, and there is no 401k match.

Advice to Management

Start paying closer attention to the extremely high turnover rate, and you will clearly see how that portrays bad management on multiple teams. Employees are leaving left and right to seek better management despite the interesting technology the company offers. While the company is performing well, this sort of problem can bite you hard in the long run!
