Pros
I've been lucky enough to work at a few cyber security companies, and this experience has been unlike anything I could have imagined. There is a real sense of culture and values, with a relentless drive to make sure we're always providing something special to our clients. The team is supportive and creative. Those who want to be leaders can step up at any time, and there is non stop encouragement from management. The culture celebrates suggestions and innovations, so everything is on the table. The work/life balance is great, and people respect one another's time off, but people are always willing to jump on a call or help when it's crunch time. SkOUT also takes care of lunch every single day so you get the chance to try everything in the area. There is a sense of huge growth at the company and we are constantly getting to see new initiatives that are surprising and exciting. It's great to be a part of something that has a sense of value, like you're one of the good guys.
Cons
It is certainly a work hard/play hard atmosphere, and while everyone is encouraged to take time away, there is often such urgency that people spend a lot of time/ late nights in the office. New initiatives, technology updates or annoucements are communicated at all hands meetings, but it would be nice to recieve more regular communications. There is a friendly comeptitiveness between the NYC and Long Island office, and when you need to commute back and forth it can really be a pain. There is work being done to modernize and update the offices, but there is still work to do.
