Pros

Unless you enjoy being yelled at for no reason. There is nothing good here. If you do decide to come onboard, expect that you will be thrown a client at you and the management will expect you to be an expert on their infrastructure without giving any instruction or training.

Cons

The management here is messed up. They expect you to work 24/7 (on-call rotation) and take responsibility for tasks that you have no instruction or training on. This position's base salary is 50k and in order to qualify for the monthly bonus of $500, they expect you to work a minimum of 180 hours. Honestly, this base salary is below the minimum wage for cybersecurity, you do not need a degree or any certificate to earn 50k and get yelled at on things that you were not trained on. Also, the management here does not know anything on the technical side and takes everything personally. In fact, it is a micromanagement style that literally digs into who you talked to after work or anything non-work related. Do not even think about using the benefits here, the management will decline your PTO/sick days request with no explanation. Overall, terrible pay, unusable benefits, horrible management, and expect you to work like slaves.

onShore Security Response

At onShore, we work diligently in cultivating an open dialog with employees at all levels on how we can improve the working environment. The CEO has an open-door policy for all staff to speak about anything related to the business from company financials, strategy, resource improvements, or to geek out on the technology landscape. He also encourages that for all of management. We do have an on-call rotation across our Engineering, Security Analyst, and System Admin teams. Anyone working in the technology field understands the need to address internal and client emergencies. Usually, employees work standard business hours; when employees get escalations, project deployment assignments, or prepare for certification, employees receive additional compensation. onShore has a 30-year history of innovating technology and strong ties to the open-source community. As a highly technical company, we realize that everyone isn't a good fit. We wish all of our onShorians past and present nothing but the best in their future endeavors.

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!
