What part of ZeroFox's business is growing fastest? What part is having difficulties?

PTO policy changed from set number of weeks to unlimited. Still need to work with manager to make sure taking time off is approved but it's great not having to count your hours is you need to take off. Still get the typical holidays off and they kept the week of Christmas to New Years where the office is closed.

What do people at ZeroFox think about the CEO? What do they do well and what can they improve?
He's a hard driving, ADD, narcissistic cheerleader of a CEO. share his view and like to party with him, or work heads down and don't get in his way, and you will do well. HE will tell you whatever he thinks you want to hear to get you to do what he wants, oversells what's real/what's possible and says he is transparent but he his not. Ask to see any financial information and you will be blocked.
The CEO clique loves him, some like him, others are there for the job and the money.
