Pros

Great technology, product management team improving release frequency, more visibility in the security market compared with 3 years ago

Cons

There are too many micromanagers, irrelevant metrics, no innovation, and a lost sight of the customer, along with a cliquey senior leadership team who promote an 'us and them' culture.

Advice to Management

Stop trying to recreate a competitor you worked for 10 years ago, try to better understand the market and how it's moving
