Pros

Lots of team building activities Good technology (and modern)

Cons

The people department look past their own staff and care more about the sales teams (I would love to say they care about the engineering teams too but they definitely care more about sales than any other team). No appreciation or care for those working within People Strategy. Adding to this; a very US centric culture and they absolutely do not care about anyone outside of the US no matter how much revenue generation or technical progress is made in the other locations. The career progression path does not appear to come from working hard, it appears to come to those who are friends with management. Unless you hand in your notice and are counter offered to stay (which is usually too late and still not a good enough offer). You will be taken for granted, if you work hard and don’t kick up a fuss then expect to stay the same level with the same salary until you have already mentally signed out and started looking elsewhere. You can have all the positive feedback in the world on MyMoose and still will not be promoted nor recognised for the hard work you do. Managers aren’t trained to deal with neurodiverse staff. In fact, they are dismissive and sometimes even hostile to any requests or requirements. The “DBAA” mantra that Christina Luconi says she pushes is absolutely not true. She will openly diss you on zoom (with many witnesses in group settings) if you question her on anything or if you have any opinion that differs from what she tries to enforce. (CL is not the sole problem, CL is just the person I dealt with most so I cannot make a reference to any other member of the leadership team) Poor yearly salaries in comparison to the market and on top of the poor salary they pay you, you then have to commute to an office and/or pay for your parking 3 days a week (minimum). No flexibility for working hours or arrangements.

Pros

Benefits, give-back program, great lunches provided, and clean workspace

Cons

I entered HR a few years ago with genuine excitement, hoping to support people and make a positive impact. What I encountered instead was one of the most toxic and disheartening work environments I’ve ever experienced. The leadership team, particularly within TAM Leadership, operates with a chilling lack of empathy. These are highly manipulative individuals who prioritize their own image and advancement above everything else — including the well-being of their employees. They preach about protecting people while actively throwing them under the bus the moment it becomes convenient. Speaking up about unfair treatment or abuse is career suicide. The message is crystal clear: stay silent, or become the problem. The lack of psychological safety is staggering for a company that positions itself as a leader in cybersecurity. How can an organization claim to protect others when it fails so miserably at protecting its own people? I’ve built real, caring relationships with many employees here who are genuinely good people doing their best under immense pressure. Watching them suffer daily while leadership remains indifferent has been heartbreaking. If you value your mental health, your dignity, and a workplace that doesn’t slowly break your spirit — do not apply here. The declining stock performance and lack of employee engagement shouldn’t surprise anyone. When people are treated as disposable, performance inevitably suffers. This company may talk security, but there is zero security for your peace of mind or well-being once you walk through the door.
