Pros: Learning experience: The founding team and VPs each have decades of experience, and every single engineer works with them on a regular basis. Having worked at a top 5 technology corporation, I can confidently say that the learning experience was far better at Netskope, and it made me a better engineer. Pay is competitive and on par with what other friends with similar tech experience have received elsewhere. General enthusiasm in the office and a 'happy environment' to work in: people sitting next to you are self-motivated, happy with their bosses, and are generally excited about their work – which is a great thing.

Cons: The office provides parking spots, but sometimes the spots are full, and you have to look around for parking in the Los Altos neighborhood. It's not a huge pain point, though.

Pros: Here you will find more flexibility for things like job responsibilities, tasks, and work hours. This does not mean you can do whatever you want, but instead, you will have more creative opportunities when it comes to getting the job done.

Cons: You will not be able to delegate much of your workload. But if you are willing to take on responsibilities and like the idea of multitasking, then join NETSKOPE.

Pros: The company has a great culture and a positive outlook. There is always a lot of hard work, but everyone takes it in stride and treats each other well. There is a cooperative atmosphere and, for a startup, this company treats everyone, from the interns to the senior management, well.

Cons: When crunch time shows up, it can be difficult to maintain a balance between getting the work done and the rest of your life. It's a startup, though, so that's what you should expect anyway.
