Pros

Very cool technology - a scalable, high-performance cloud security solution.

Good market traction and a rapidly growing customer base.

Lots of talented engineers with strong engineering leadership.

The CEO has a proven track record for funding and leading several companies.

The stock is not diluted with lots of rounds of VC funding.

Cons

Very aggressive work culture – not for the faint-hearted.

A "sink or swim" attitude has caused a few burnouts.

Benefits and vacations are paltry.

Advice to Management

Execute and focus.

Reward employees frequently and prevent burnout.

The company has grown rapidly and needs better HR, IT, and processes.
