Pros

I have been working for CIS now for 3 years and while the past year especially has been full of challenges, I have NEVER worked for an employer who ACTUALLY cares so much about their employees (and they put their money where their mouth is too). One of my favorite parts is the Nourish Your Soul events put on monthly where CIS provides us with 2+ hours of enrichment activities. They reward good work with spot bonuses & raises AND they have preserved the yearly cost-of-living increases.

Cons

Last year was a difficult with Doge cutting our government funding but I am incredibly proud of how the company handled this difficult transition while still expressing how much value their employees bring.

Pros

Great mission, world-wide impact, a leader among non-profits in cybersecurity for over 25 years.

Cons

Claims of great culture mask a lot of internal problems. Micromanagement of everything from the top down. CEO is a poor fit for the current situation - micromanaging, arrogant, vindictive, poor decision-making. Isn't there a Board of Directors? What do they do to guide this company?
