Pros

Work in varied environments where one can be exposed to multiple architectures in for profit, non-profit, educational, financial, construction, ISP, Datacenter, MSP environments. Comparing this to a corporate MSP I worked in I found the corporate environment very boring and needlessly limited. For example one client had a TCP connection issue with mobile devices. I fixed this by leveraging sysctl and IPTables to modify the TCP stack on the employer's product (edge firewall). Client was happy however I was called in and lightly disciplined because my manager was non technical and saw what I did as not the way. This would never happen at onShore because management all the way up to the CEO are either technical themselves or know how to use find out the things they do not know.

Cons

Initial pay may be slightly lower than elsewhere however the bonuses are good and it is possible to obtain better pay as one grows with yearly reviews and showing professional and/or personal growth. Also the various bonus structures over the years are pretty decent.

Pros

- Brilliant and driven, yet fun people who are passionate about security and IT. - Exciting products/tech. - Fairly strong documentation, allowing some roles to hit the ground running. - Lots of encouragement to experiment and learn. - Mid and upper level management make an earnest effort to regularly reach out for feedback.

Cons

- My chair makes my back hurt. - Kind of a drab office with little natural light. - Ownership of devices is a bit strange (I had to sign a contract saying I'd pay to replace my laptop if it breaks).

Pros

The engineers and analysts are good people. Open source tools

Cons

Bad C level management. The CEO, CTO and CFO have all been there for over 20 years. They don't value their analysts and engineers. The CEO does not believe in market level compensation. A 45k offer for a Security Analyst is pathetic!
