Pros

-Culture without toxicity -Work life balance -Great client profile -Autonomy -Genuinely invested management -Rapidly growing company In my experience consulting, especially infosec, you can commonly find yourself in a cutthroat environment because everyone's trying to make their hours and be the most indispensable. I haven't experienced this one bit at Crypsis. Everyone is genuinely willing to help out, and I've yet to encounter anyone talking just to beat their chest or win more hours. Asking for help isn't considered a sign of weakness, it's a sign of resourcefulness. More importantly, giving help isn't seen as a waste of time, but an investment into the team overall. Crypsis works hard to cultivate a culture of empowered employees. Regardless of title, every voice is heard. The growth of the company is impressive, not just in terms of headcount, but in terms of the services offered as well. A lot of this is thanks to the top down culture approach that prevents toxicity. I'm impressed that even with over 100 employees, the final interview will still be with the CEO and number two in the company. The day to day is rewarding. I'm a 100% remote employee, but I'm never feeling like I'm left out or searching for work. The quality of work delivered to clients is significantly better than what I've seen from much larger security companies. A lot of this can be attributed to the size and age of Crypsis: they can tailor services to clients instead of having a one size fits all approach. I've waited to settle in here before writing this review so I could not write it during the honeymoon phase. Quite frankly, each day gets more interesting and each prospective project gets more intriguing.

Cons

Time tracking system is a bit cumbersome and buggy. I keep my own spreadsheet and usually track time retroactively due to it's unreliability.

Pros

I've literally never worked with so many elite folks. Most companies have a large group of average talent with a few real "go getters". Crypsis has, and continues to build, a team of seriously impressive professionals. There are very intentional steps taken to foster the professional growth of everyone in the company. The variety of work is as you'd expect with a DFIR firm, but Crypsis somehow seems to keep it interesting even when waves of similar cases come in. The company takes specific care to help protect from burnout, unlike most companies working within the Incident Response realm. They respect the time that you put in, and reward you for going the extra stretch on cases and tasks. Overall the balance I've found at Crypsis far exceeds any other entity that I have worked for.

Cons

This is still a growing company. Anyone who has been a part of that knows most of what that means. For those that haven't, expect some short term issues to periodically crop up. Growing companies often exceed capacity and infrastructure, and have people wearing a few hats at any given time. However, the positive side to this (at Crypsis) is that they don't hesitate to listen to suggestions, and take action to resolve those issues as the company grows. I expect this to be come a continuously smaller problem over time.
