Pros

good touchy-feely work life balance the tech is really good

Cons

Senior sales leaders are ruthless. They have displayed a repetitive pattern of hiring good, experienced sales people, then cutting them off at the knees just as they are about to hit their stride. No warning, no feedback, just "you don't fit here - you are fired". Saw this happen to 4 people in less than a year. The CEO talks a good game about how important culture is, how the people are his most valuable resource. But at the end of the day, it's like a high school click group and if the SVP of sales decides he no longer likes you, you are done. If you can't "switch hit" between driving large, strategic, 7 figure deal cycles while at the same time cold-calling 3hrs a day for $20k SMB deals that the commercial team should be driving, they thing something is wrong with you. Good luck with that model. Finally, If you are applying for sales, ask how many reps hit accelerators last year. My best guess is it will be less that 10% company-wide.

Pros

* Innovative technology with a compelling market opportunity * Talented, ambitious employees who genuinely care about the company’s success * Strong leadership communication from the CEO and a clear company vision * Collaborative and energetic culture, particularly within the Tel Aviv headquarters * Opportunity to learn quickly and work with smart people in a fast-growing cybersecurity company

Cons

* Significant gap between the company’s messaging around trust, empowerment, and empathy and the experience on some teams * Management quality varies dramatically depending on who you report to * Some teams operate in a low-trust environment characterized by extensive task tracking, detailed sprint management, frequent status reviews, and continual scrutiny of deliverables * Employees are often expected to prove themselves repeatedly rather than being trusted to do the jobs they were hired to do * Employee departures can feel abrupt and opaque, creating uncertainty for those who remain * Remote employees may struggle with isolation and limited access to real-time collaboration
