Pros

Full remote work environment. Not one of the best but decent base salary in Canada. WLB may good if you are average capability engineer

Cons

- Less RSU/EOSP bonus. Even worse is no visibility to go to IPO yet. - Never met cash bonus target. - No extended health insurance. - Unlimited PTO but actually less flexibility to use and glass ceiling for some managers, like up to 5 days per quarter. Which is less than limited PTO if we sum up vacation + personal leave + sick leave - Too many underperforming engineers - No interactive communication and collaboration between teams - Totally disconnected engineering team and product engineering team (infra) - Not working as a team, but working as an individual.

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.
