Pros

Late stage startup, low risk of not IPO'ing Good folks to work with in some pockets (look for the right one)

Cons

CEO is a product/sales/marketing guy - hence great product fit. Engineering org setup as 2 verticals and against each other which leads to VERY VERY high amount of politics for a pre-IPO company - good look getting something done in reasonable time. Poor leadership in one engineering vertical who say all the right things and that's about it - no doing. Heavy dilution, low option grants and insulting refreshers - years of waiting for IPO may not pay off.

Pros

Strong Executive Leadership: The leadership team is transparent, highly experienced, and clearly knows how to navigate the cybersecurity landscape. You feel like the ship is being steered in the right direction. Excellent Career Paths: There is a genuine focus on internal mobility and career development. If you’re a high performer, there are clear avenues for promotion and skill expansion. Cutting-Edge Technology: Working here means dealing with truly industry-leading products. The tech stack is innovative, and it’s exciting to be at the forefront of the SASE and cloud security market. Collaborative Culture: Despite the fast pace, the "one team" mentality is very much alive here.

Cons

Benefits Gap: The most notable downside for US-based employees is the lack of a 401k match at this time. While the overall compensation and equity packages are competitive, this is a missing piece of the total rewards puzzle that many peers in the industry currently offer.
