Work life balance is ok. Not great. They are much backwards in technology if you look them from competitor standpoint like Palo Alto Networks, Fortinet etc.
- Work-life balance - Good
Dislikes
No one listens to you if you are talking something which is in line with industry. Be prepared to spend all your meetings for internal conversations only. Account team holds the fort and if you are not in account team, it's just waste of career. No proper training for experienced folks (atleast never happened with me). Old timers inthe company will drag you down if you talk something which is innovative and have seen in other competitors. It's just surviving on its brand value that it has created....Read More

Get good salary and RSU on joining, once joined upto 9% (if rated extraordinary) max hike is expected.
- Salary - Good
Dislikes
1. No work at all, so no learning. 2. Company is not software company, so if you are into hardware, networking and security, that's good. But if you are into cloud, software, IaaS please avoid this company, it can screw up your overall technical expertise. Since they don't have any software related work. 3. Leadership will never settle down here as a result of which you will experience org changes thrice in a year. And you will be moved to different orgs with no technical benefit at all. My suggestion: Get the offer and never join it....Read More

Work wise since its a big organisations, you should be lucky enough to get good work, else its mostly maintaining and adding few features on already existing code base. But they do support you with learning, for that you need to spend extra hours apart from your daily job to learn extra.

The Managers are not well trained in their new roles, I faced severe discrimination from an African American Manager. Absence of clear goals and objectives and micromanagement and no development discussions in my case. They throw you like a vegetable if you raise your voice… so I am not sure of what inclusivity they refer to.
