Pros
The mission is great, in theory, but practically there is no way to achieve anything given the inefficacy of leadership. You will work with some truly impressive amazing people who are very willing to knowledge transfer and care deeply about ICS security. There are few companies to get this kind of experience, and this is one of them. The work can be very meaningful.
Cons
Basically everything else. You will also work with some terrible people who absolutely should not be in management or leadership positions. The platform is… interesting. Promises are broken often and moral is generally low. The CEO is incredibly problematic and messy and needs to learn that transparency doesn’t mean people want to hear about his personal and marital life in company wide emails and all hands, but things like processes and how incredibly low “market” pay rates are decided. The denigrating of other companies from higher up's is also uncomfortable and inappropriate. No locality bumps bc “people can live wherever they want.” Equity used as a huge part of pay and incentivizing, unfortunately it’s so bad that I think many people aren’t even bothering taking it with them when they leave. Whole teams can be punished/humiliated bc the CEO dislikes a manager. A huge number of some of the most amazing people in the field have left bc management/leadership can’t get it together. DEI is atrocious here and their efforts are a total joke. They were hemorrhaging women during my time there and didn’t want to address when given the statistics. Insane what has been squandered given what this company was. Very cyber bro drinking culture despite claims to the contrary. The churn is wild.
