Pros

​- Some teams were great to collaborate and have a chat. Good way to stay in touch and network - Nice location of their corporate office - Monthly company socializing and other events - Free food and company swags - Decent benefits package - Casual tech company attire that you see nowadays - Executives are accessible

Cons

- Felt like a bro culture during my time there - Cronyism and nepotism, so good luck getting a promotion to Senior or higher level role - Turnover rate - Pay was low compared to same role of other neighboring companies - Lacks cognitive diversity (not to be mistaken by the other definition of diversity, they're good on that). - They seem to hire like minded mannerism - Some of the people who's been there for decades or longer are stuck with their outdated ways of thinking - Some of the new people there were left to be guessing around and figuring things out themselves - 20+ years and still acts like a startup

Pros

Open, connected culture backed by strong leadership. If you want to lead, you will get your chance. A lot of input, a lot of feedback, and support create a great place to work.

Cons

Many legacy staffers who take a while to change and adapt, but the new team and leadership support change and improvement.

Pros

Used to be a great company under Prakash! Now, the new leadership is slashing and burning the great culture that once was WatchGuard

Cons

Cutting costs and firing very good people. New leadership does not care about legacy, loyaly, and commitment.
