Pros

Surrounded by technical people who know their stuff, without the egos that often come with it. Strong encouragement to contribute to the wider community: research, blog writing, and showing your work publicly is supported. Leadership genuinely backs you if you want to carve out a name in your area of interest. Zero micromanagement. There’s a high level of trust in staff to get on with the job. Work-life balance is second to none. If you’re passionate about your field and keen to grow, PTP is a great place to be.

Cons

Training budget isn't great and there's not a lot of formal structure or career pathing - could be challenging if you're looking for a clear development plan, more money would always be nice too.

Pros

The culture at PTP is incredible & it influences the entire business. From an internal operations perspective, the culture drives hiring decisions, how we communicate and collaborate, and how we organically grow the business. It’s professional, fair, and embraces new ideas. From an external perspective, PTP genuinely strives to be a productive member of the greater cyber environment. I was promised this approach during my interview process & I can honestly say that I’ve been super impressed over my first 7 months here. All the partners, very much including the general partner, are fantastic people inside and outside of the office. I couldn’t recommend PTP enough.

Cons

There aren’t any cons to mention that wouldn’t exist in any other fast-paced, exciting, growth-oriented cyber company

Pros

Nothing that you couldn't get from another pentesting firm

Cons

1) The founding partner is a narcissist 2) "Managing Consultant" is just a title for techies who are happy to volunteer to do a bit of people management for free. 3) They refuse to pay market rate due to the partners having rose tinted glasses 4) Partners love to dangle a carrot to entice employees to do something but when said thing is done, zero reward is given. 5) Company culture is completely toxic, makes sense as to why they hired a head of culture. 6) It's very evident that you are just an employee number, unless you are happy to get pally with a founding partner. 7) Could be here all day writing cons
