Exciting time to be at Dragos as it comes of age (10y) - Principal industrial consultant Dragos Employee Review

Dragos’ mission is unparalleled. You get to work on some of the hardest problems, turning abstract ideas into technical solutions. The solutions directly benefit millions of people who rely on power, clean water, and food. The company is very focused on this mission. This focus stems from Rob himself. Not once in five years has he wavered from this focus. For some people, it’s just a job. But for Rob, it’s a cause. This intense commitment to keeping civilization safe can be off-putting for those who view the company and mission as just another temporary stepping stone up the career ladder. If one is willing to work hard, seek to maximize the value that they offer for this mission, and work with a sense of urgency, then there is a place for them at Dragos. I’ll close with this: Dragos employees work from home, earn in the top percentiles relative to all other workers in the USA, serve a mission that was more important than any one person, and receive amazing benefits. Yet, despite this, some former employees complain. I personally believe some of those people lacked perspective maybe the whole time they were at Dragos. It’s easy to be a critic. It’s a lot harder to keep focus on such a fundamental mission for over a decade while building a company and fighting off malicious adversaries. People need to keep that in mind.

Honestly I can’t think of anything. People have to be truly out of touch with reality in America to find fault.

The best company culture and mission-focused to keep wicked threats out of OT networks and protect communities. Customer-focused to provide the best service. Dedicated management supportive of employee career paths and goals. Robert M. Lee is brilliant and an amazing business leader. He is no B.S. No hype. The real deal in innovating and improving OT cybersecurity. He cares about protecting critical infrastructure and is totally focused on the mission to safeguard civilization. Awesome leadership across the board that leads in non-trad ways that keeps us constantly evolving and innovating, blazing trails. Employees are highly intelligent and non-pretentious best in their fields of expertise and always super happy to support others. Dragos is a fun place to work even during the insane busy time frames and complex assignments. Teams work well together and are keen to share expertise so that we are all in the know and able to provide excellent services to our clients. The company provides employees with the best resources to do our jobs and deliver on objectives. Remote culture, flexible hours. Great PTO.

Wish we could be together more in person.
