Pros

In the security arm of the tech branch of the business, the CISO and managers are fantastic people to work for/with. If you're motivated and work hard, you can see significant training budget become available to you. Genuinely fantastic company culture and great work life balance. Exceptional people. If you want to build your skillset in a relevant area, they will go out of your way to let you cross-train within the org. Moonlighting clause allows for income/growth outside of the org.

Cons

10-35% cut in pay vs the rest of the industry for similar roles depending on title & experience - hard to believe, but the culture and flexibility is worth the pay difference. CEO is anti-WFH and will take any opportunity to take a stance against it. If you're a high performer, WFH is still on the table.

Pros

The juror is still out on this questions.

Cons

Compensation was among the lowest in the industry, which does not align with the level of performance and pressure expected by employees. Micro managing at it's FINEST. This workplace had a sweatshop-like environment. I can't make this stuff up. Metrics were prioritized over people. Supervisors were cliquish, unprofessional and often lacked the knowledge to properly support their teams- frequently needing to ask other supervisors or managers for basic answers. There was zero flexibility on calls; despite having a hold function we were chastise during 1/1 meetings and discouraged from using it and force to use the mute button because metrics is important. IYKYK. On top of that, systems issues were frequent and made it difficult to meet those good ole metrics. The whole environment was TOXIC. Tread lightly and think long and hard before working for this establishment. You've been warned.
