Pros

High pay above industry standards with stock grants

Cons

Most of the work is routine and lacks innovation. The SOC operations feel repetitive and have limited meaningful impact. Leadership tends to prioritize issues based on their own interests rather than broader cybersecurity goals, and there’s a noticeable gap in leadership’s understanding of what effective cybersecurity truly requires.
