Pros

All of the employees are excited about Websense's future and their role in it. The management takes ample time to make sure every individual is confident in their position.

Cons

The company is transitioning from headquartering in San Diego to Austin, TX so the office space needs a few more improvements.

Pros

Industry Leader great work environment Fortune 500 Customers Professional growth (They're paying for my CCNA!? :) good salary This is a high productivity environment - caused by the nature of the product. You have to be able to multi-task

Cons

Generally a great bunch of people, and many of the techs are brilliant - but some of the oldtimers don't seem to get it and just complain - 2002 called and wants those techs back. We have an appliance now - Dell support for the hardware is lame - they won't come on site until you tell them what's wrong - what if the box won't boot???
