Pros

Work life balance was good. There are some good engineers there that are passionate and considerate.

Cons

Leadership both at executive and mid level is broken.

Executive leadership has made a bunch of bad acquisitions that they are still trying to integrate. Some feel the CEO is checked out. Pending PE acquisition seems like a certainty. In terms of engineering its feeling more and more they want everything revolving around Belfast and Prague. Feeling is eventually this will be a non American company.

Advice to Management

No advice. Executive leadership screwed it up. Bad acquisitions, poor execution and vision. Not sure how they can fix it. Their plan now is cost cutting mode. VM is in a poor state. Wiz is eating their lunch in cloud security.
