Pros
- Excellent benefits - Excellent workplace environment - Great people and fantastic training - All staff are highly approachable - Staff and managers truly accept you for who you are (There's a "no a**holes policy") - Fantastic progression options - Rewarding work, you'll work with different industries keeping them up to date on the latest trends and techniques black hats/red teams employ - Excellent for building your network inside and outside of the industry - Attend seminars and webinars to further your knowledge and interact with those you're helping - The CEO is an absolute legend.
Cons
- Work loads at time can get a bit out of hand, predominantly due to staff turn over but this is expected in other businesses - Little time for rest or respite - You have to learn VERY quickly as the business evolves - Micro-management executives, they state that they're results driven but sometimes it's the small things you'll get called up on - Dissonance/Fragmented teams, mainly due to remote working - Time off can feel like punishment when you return, not due to the company but often the clients - Bonuses and boons are tailored more towards American staff - Progression in more technical roles would require you moving to Florida - Bonuses aren't as great as they once were, recent acquisition might have something to do with that. - To be ahead of the curve we often have to perform our own research into trends and techniques, we need more case studies as examples (primarily negative ones to learn from).
