Pros

Foot in the door, laid back and easy (not very technical at all)

Cons

Management is terrible and micromanage everything. The pay is god awful, even at entry level it is just plain terrible. If you do work here all you hear about is gossip and how everyone is applying for other positions to get out of Novacoast. No growth and not a "true SOC". Sales lies about the analyst credentials to get clients and in reality at least 60% of the analyst do not know what they are doing. Communication/Collaboration is beyond awful. The CEO sends out emails literally degrading the lower level employees and if you bring up anything wrong about best practices expect to have a target on your back. I can go all day about what is wrong with this company. I guess work here if you need a foot in the door but just use the extreme amounts of down time to get certs and leave.

Pros

Unlimited room for growth, unlimited help from peers, remote work offered, flexible work hours if needed, no micro-managing, and overall just a good work life culture.

Cons

Some managers have a lot on their plates, making it hard to be available at all times.
