Pros

The money was good. This is the place that taught me that money definitely does not make the job.

Cons

Horrible leadership. It's almost laughable. By week 2 I hated my manager so much that I was concerned what would happen if I came face to face with him. For whatever reason, the sales people are the most looked after in the company. If they don't like you, you'll be fired, period. I've seriously never seen a more toxic place. This is the first time in my life that I quit a position with nothing else lined up.

Pros

remote work, coworkers are very knowledgeble, could cover some certs.

Cons

management is completely incompetent, barely knows what security is, one of the types 'talk 60 min and said nothing'. workspace became very toxic due to micromanagement which affected overall team mood. They will literally try to pay you lower salary that listed on the JD.
