Pros

Very stable company that will treat you right if you dedicate yourself. No major layoffs in the company history - CEO takes employee wellbeing personal Best of breed technology that focuses on Threat Prevention (this is unique) Great people, feels like a family Team mentality - we all win or we all lose Good work/life balance Nice expense policy for customer and partner entertainment Best threat intelligence team in the market!

Cons

Limited career advancement opportunity if you are unable to relocate Limited marketing presence (although this has gotten much better in recent years) No home office expenses allowed (including internet, office supplies) Salaries are lower than competition unless you prove yourself - then they make it right Many decisions are made by main office in Israel - sometimes these decisions don't fit well with the US market. High sales team turnover (usually because the people hired were just not capable of doing the job)

Pros

The core responsibilities offer solid experience, and many team members are dedicated, talented, and great to work with.

Cons

Lack of HR Support: The company lacks a safe, objective framework for employee feedback. When legitimate management issues were raised to HR, no corrective action was taken. Instead, it resulted in direct retaliation from leadership, which was left unaddressed by the organization. Significant Under-Market Pay: Compensation is well below industry standards for similar scopes of work. To give context, transitioning into a comparable role at a different company yielded a 37% increase in base pay. Flawed & Inaccurate Sales Compensation: The commission and incentive structures for the sales organization are unnecessarily convoluted. This complexity frequently leads to errors in commission payouts, causing widespread frustration among sellers. Notably, these calculation mistakes are consistently detrimental to the employee and rarely seem to resolve in the seller's favor. Siloed "HQ-Centric" Culture: There is a heavy disconnect between corporate headquarters and regional teams. The culture feels highly insular, creating an "in-group" dynamic where those outside of headquarters have very limited visibility, influence, or opportunities for career progression.
