How much refreshers do you get in zScaler?
None, they don't provide any.
No refreshers at any level? Why people stay at Zscalar?
That zscaler offer is terrible. Stocks can go up or down and you get paid end of the year. . Your tc is better, and that's even with regular pay over rsu. I'd go with mobile iron. I heard zscaler wlb is bad, not sure about the mobile iron
What are levels in ivanti? What level can one expect for 15+ yoe
I guess either senior staff or principal role
Hopefully you didn’t choose Ivanti. Terrible company, I am a former employee.
Oh is it, can you share your experience?
Yes. Ivanti as a company was a result of the merger of Landesk and Heat Software (which was a result of other mergers). Ivanti is owned by a Private Equity firm called Clearlake Capital. I was there for about 3 years, until our entire office was laid off. This was after a solid year of lies and deflection from upper management who constantly told us we had nothing to worry about. Back then, there were major problems with direction. Constantly switching focus on the overall vision to the point that no one knew what we were even building or selling anymore. Customers were confused, employees were confused, management was confused. I am still in contact with some people that still work there, and at least once a year I see the inevitable “looking for new opportunities” posts on LinkedIn, because they do mass layoffs every single year, going back to as far back as 2014 I would say. The pattern is: acquire companies with PE money, attempt to integrate those into current offerings, and when that inevitably fails there are mass layoffs. Some of the original products were good, but they were abandoned in favor of products that still barely work. There are some good people there, but in general I would say to look at the reviews on Glassdoor, sort them by negative first. They are extremely accurate. Most of the positive reviews seem like they were created by the PR team. It might be ok in the short term, but there is always that dread of wondering “will I still have a job tomorrow? How is this place even making money?” In my opinion, that isn’t a great way to live.
Zscaler is for Staff Engineer?
