Pros

Second to none benefits, cheap health insurance, smartest people in the industry. Lots of people to learn from, tons of room for individual growth. Fantastic for people looking to spread their wings in the cybersecurity space. If you are someone who goes above and beyond, you'll be recognized and treated as such.

Cons

Feels like we're at the end of our growth phase, and are now into the squeeze phase. Over-emphasis on efficiency has lead to some changes which don't really make sense -- it feels like two steps backwards with not a single step forward. These decisions feel tone deaf. Additionally, getting new hires approved is difficult. Hiring is reactive and not proactive, leading to management burden. Compensation used to track with the industry, but it hasn't for the last 2 years. We have a ton of amazing people, but they're being underpaid and over-leveraged for their compensation.

Pros

Management frequently improves benefits. Management really knows the business well. The company has historically been well insulated from economic downturns. So many opportunities to stand out and make a name for yourself

Cons

Data driven decisions still a work in progress. Long term vision is likely 1 ish year.

Pros

The people. Peers are great to work with and very supportive. Some of the leaders in the teams are as well. Perks were GREAT but have slowly been taken away or the costs went up.

Cons

Where do I begin? Wholesale executive turnover. Technology projects that we're supposed to say are awesome but aren't really that great. They take up more time to figure out than they're worth and we know those are meant to take our jobs. AI, offshore, temp labor. No thanks. It was a place I loved working at but has slowly just become a job that makes me feel like I should be watching for somewhere else to go. Just in case. The culture has changed quite a bit too. It used to feel like a place where we all wanted to work together but that's slowly fading.
