Pros

Culture of Caring: You know how some companies say they care, but it’s just a poster in the break room? Not here. The “No Jerks” core value isn’t just a slogan—it’s lived. People are kind, collaborative, and genuinely want to help each other succeed. It’s refreshing, like finding out your coffee machine also makes espresso. Hybrid Work Friendly: Management gets it. Life happens. Whether you're remote, hybrid, or somewhere in between, there's flexibility and trust. Discretionary PTO: In theory, it’s a dream. Take time when you need it, no accrual spreadsheets. In practice? It works well for most, especially if you’re good at setting boundaries. Just don’t forget to actually use it. Ideas Welcome: Got a new way to solve a problem? A wild idea that might just work? Speak up. Leadership listens.

Cons

Growing Pains: The company’s scaling fast, which is exciting—but also means: Sometimes you’re wearing three hats and juggling flaming swords. Resources don’t always grow at the same pace as expectations. Workload Fluctuations: There are seasons where the hours stretch longer than expected. It’s not constant, but when it hits, it hits. Bring snacks.

Thank you for the review and for calling out how our “No Jerks” value shows up in daily behavior. We are glad the culture of care, hybrid flexibility, and openness to ideas are supporting your work as a Director. It is great to hear discretionary PTO is working in practice when paired with clear boundaries. We hear your notes on growth, resource alignment, and workload swings. Scaling should come with clear priorities, the right support, and space for people to recharge. Please continue to share specific suggestions with your manager so we can keep improving how we plan, staff, and model healthy time off. We appreciate your perspective and your impact.

Pros

- Culture: they have lots of fun events, and also focus on giveback events which is really nice to see - Focus on growth: my manager seems open to giving me opportunities to learn and develop. - People: everyone is so nice and helpful, if you ever have any questions people are ready to answer or point you in the right direction - Hybrid: appreciate that my position is hybrid (2 days onsite) so gives me flexibility!

Cons

I haven't come across too many drawbacks, it is a global company so dealing with the time change when working through a problem can make the resolution longer.

Pros

- Depending on the team, you could work with amazing people - It's a fast growing company

Cons

- Heavily integrated with India and other parts of the world so the working hours are intense - They secretly had layoffs but refused to announce it. They say they are transparent but really, they just use it so everyone else is transparent - Engineering and Product Management lack clear direction and long-term vision. Priorities change constantly, often driven by the “flavor of the week,” which leaves teams scrambling and abandoning work before it’s finished or properly thought through. It creates an environment where no one knows what actually matters. - There is little to no effective project management. Everything is treated as urgent, regardless of scope or feasibility, with very little concern for doing things correctly or sustainably. This leads to rushed decisions, technical debt, and unnecessary stress for engineers. - Employees are severely overworked. Burnout is normalized. Many teammates feel pressured to work excessive hours out of fear for their job security, which creates a tense and unhealthy work culture. The on-call schedule is brutal and poorly managed. Issues are well known, but leadership shows little interest in fixing or improving the system, despite the ongoing toll it takes on employees. - People management is weak at best. Many managers are ineffective and treat their direct reports poorly, yet they are rewarded for being agreeable to upper management. Being a “yes person” seems to matter more than actually supporting or developing your team. - They try to convince you AI won't take over your job but constantly demands you to use AI for every aspect of your job...

Thank you for taking the time to share this perspective and for your decade of contributions to Infoblox. We are glad you were able to work with talented teammates and that you experienced the pace and growth of the business firsthand. We also hear the seriousness of the concerns you've described. While we cannot comment on specific personnel matters or internal decisions in a public forum, we take these themes seriously. Creating a healthier operating rhythm requires clear strategy, stable prioritization, realistic planning, improved resourcing, and leaders who are accountable for how work is delivered and how teams are supported. We are continuing to focus on strengthening our people leadership, improving cross team coordination, and making on call more sustainable. Thank you again for sharing candid feedback, and we wish you success in your next chapter.
