Pros

work life balance is ok.

Cons

terrible benefits, lowest pay grids in industry, no bonuses, company fosters an internal competitive culture where employees are competing with each other over pay that doesn't benefit the customer, management is nowhere to be found and when they are, they are found to be managing to reports for their pay.

Pros

Pay is solid. There are great people that work here, including direct managers. Work/Life balance is ok, could be better.

Cons

Upper management can't manage people. Will make passive aggressive insults through public emails and demean you by saying to your face you aren't promotion material. Reorg is happening soon. Maybe it will fix management issues. Upper management likes micromanaging. It's caused everyone at work to want out. This role doesn't do just forensics. It's 80% UEBA/15% pulling logs, 5% actual forensics work. If you are looking for strictly forensics, I'd look else where. Upper management will not let you know things to fix until yearly reviews. Would not deal with managers that act this way. Not much opportunity to go up here.
