Pros

Provided free breakfast on Wednesdays (PrePandemic)

Cons

The company likes to Micro Manage. They account for every minute of the work day. There was a lot of fear which came with the micro management from the management team. The company culture seemed to come across as micro managing tasks, which creates a feeling of distrust. Employees must prove what occurred each day in 15 minute increments. If the Micro Manager was dissatisfied with your response to their Micromanaging findings, they will fire you. Managers for tech roles don't have a tech background, they just micro manage without understanding the core fundamental principles of tech work and they don't care about the intangibles in their employees. Don't share about your personal life, because they will look into it and decide if your activities outside of the work place don't align with their own, they will look to fire you.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for the time you spent at Fortress Information Security over two years ago. We appreciate your candid insights and are glad you enjoyed the Wednesday breakfasts before the pandemic. We understand that your experience with our management style during that period was challenging. Over the past couple of years, we’ve made significant changes to our workplace culture and management practices. We’ve actively worked to move away from micromanagement, focusing instead on trust, empowerment, and the development of our employees. We’ve also invested in ensuring our leaders have the appropriate background and skills to support their teams effectively, particularly in technical roles. Your feedback is valuable as it highlights areas where we've worked to make improvements. We’re committed to creating an environment where employees feel supported and can thrive. We hope you would find the changes we’ve implemented positive if you had the opportunity to experience them today. Thank you again for your input, and we wish you continued success in your future endeavors.
