Pros

Laid back culture. You really can take it easy most of the time. The company really cares about work life balance. The PTO isn’t great, but they let you be very flexible with when you work that makes up for it. The free Microsoft certifications is very nice aswell.

Cons

The biggest issue with working in security at Ferguson is that they simply don’t care or don’t know how to do security at an org of this size. The leadership is basically purely concerned with clout within the company. Teams that have no business doing something somehow own the entire area. It’s difficult to explain while maintaining anonymity but don’t come to Ferguson to learn best practices. They love to buy a product to fix a symptom of the issue that is leadership has no idea how to implement security across the org. You need to be focused on making up KPIs to succeed here.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
