Pros

Nice CEO's, great office location, free snacks, and OK company culture

Cons

Working at Fortress has a long list of cons, for one the entry level positions are severely underpaid. The tasks you do are whatever they need for which ever company they are trying to secure. Mostly research, spreadsheet work, and writing reports. No Penetration testing what so ever, basically a very lowly paid googler and report writer. All of their tests are non intrusive and they don't really have a software or anything to work. Be careful of this positon if you have a decent tech degree like IT or such. You will not being doing anything related to technology really. They love you if you just google and spreadsheet for 8 hours a day, for which ever client they are talking with.
