Pros

Colleagues were great! I will really miss these guys. We created a culture that got us through the rough days of working at Above Security.

Cons

This is very messed up. I worked at Above Security/Seccuris for many years. I believed the promise that things would grow and that we all had bright futures there. Suddenly without warning we were all let go. The CEO of the company is a cruel human being. He's fired people on vacation. He came in right after buying Seccuris and began threatening people. He was on a drunken power trip. That was just the Seccuris side too. He was scared of letting too many people took across the border. He was letting the office hire people while he knew this was going to be done. In the Montreal offices he was verbally abusing people there. They were losing people as quickly as Winnipeg. In the aftermath of this crisis. Days later there has been no corporate email out to their paying customers about not receiving the services. All requests and work are just sitting there waiting to be answered. This CEO really knows how to not professionally carry himself! Above Security is most likely bankrupt. Do not do business with them. Do not work for them. Do not hire this CEO when he's done throwing aside his company.

Pros

You do get to work on some interesting areas, with a variety of clients in corporate and government environments.

Cons

With the merger about a year ago with Seccuris (and subsequent acquisition by Hitachi), many changes have been made (or useful, important things put off) in the name of "harmonization". Performance and salary reviews put off for an extra year, to harmonize renumeration. Harmonization just became "consolidation" on June 27 2016, when the Winnipeg office was suddenly closed. This would be the same office that senior management swore was "not going anywhere", or maybe just moved. Those making the decision to close the Winnipeg office were not present for the shutdown. At least some employees leaving recently have moved on to significantly higher pay as well.
