      Pros

      Virtually nothing left to mention.

      Cons

      New leadership has systematically dismantled everything positive about the company. Their calculated strategy involves pushing people out through redundancies, toxic work conditions, and unrelenting stress. The CEO's infamous mantra, "everyone is replaceable," apparently doesn't apply to the privileged PulseSecure team.

      Pros

      Has a respectable past as a tech frontier in the industry and decent products.

      Cons

      2 yrs in and it's without doubt a bizarrely run company, nothing is working right for this size/age company. Everything is a half-baked below standard job, nobody seems to want to set standards and practices. Teams aren't gelling together but they seem more focused on who's fault it is to justify their position. Leadership are on a different planet and hire only past buddies. CEO has lost trust from majority of the staff, too many bad hires from his native country seemed to be a wry, good people let go earlier in the year and no clear direction has led people to be totally lost and morale is sinking to an all time low.

      Pros

      very good professional colleagues , free food once a week.

      Cons

      The new CEO has created a huge leadership crisis in the company across all departments since the day he joined. He has started a huge rift between employees by hiring tons of people from his old company without following the company's hiring practices, from his level team to account executive. This has created a two-tier system where his former colleagues are given preferential treatment, while existing employees are marginalized. It is clear that this CEO leading bad example.
