Pros
DirectDefense leadership is known for their cybersecurity knowledge. They are eager to take on any and all work in cybersecurity. I like the people I work with and they are fun to hang out with.
Cons
Ever since the big layoffs in April, I've been scared about my job. That's why I'm now looking. When I started DD was a progressive company. Now they seem to be desperate for work willing to do anything. Upper management has taken on worker roles rather than leading. They spend money on big parties rather than on taking care of employees. Also, they do little to help those junior in cybersecurity to develop their skills. I also have seen unethical behavior from top management in the way they conduct business. I say avoid until the company becomes more stable.
