Old boys club
Old boys club
The stock is doing well.
New leadership has been hired in the last two years in Product and Engineering within NetSec. This is good and mature. They understand what is needed to drive innovation and disruption in this market.
Too many iterations and everything needs top-down approval.
Within engineering, there is an old boys' club, led by the CPO and his favorite folks. It is almost as if only they get to choose what is right.
There are problem statement reviews, strategy reviews with the CPO, and the CPO is never convinced on strategy, leading to continuous iterations on strategy.
Good projects are only given to favorite folks within Product, just like promotions and exceptional ratings.
The CPO has his favorites, and only they get recognition.
It's hard for new talent to succeed in this company.
The CPO does not typically align with new engineering ideas, unless they are positioned by his favorites.
There's a lot of backdoor communication between the CPO and his favorite old-timers.
