Pros

I have learned how to NOT run a company

Cons

-"leadership" does not listen to employees or customers , a goldfish would do a better job as a leader -employee morale is super low and "leadership"'s answer is "just because you think something is the case, doesn't mean it's true" -"leadership" takes no accountability for any faults or issues -software is mostly broken, company does not care to fix it -overload employees with hours with a failure to understand this leaves no time to be proactive for clients -much top talent and years of knowledge in the space has left the company -Company refused to give raises during pandemic although the CEO let it be known that he got his annual bonus due to "your hard work" and said so to a room of people that hadn't seen a raise in two years -very little room for growth / promotions -communication is almost non existent, and in the few times it does happen is very out of touch and demanding -every idea is so short term minded, there is no long term direction -company has no clear direction , and likely looking to outsource jobs as a result -employees are not valued, and all are seen as easily replaceable -culture is "do as i say, not as i do" -company would use .5 ply TP if they could. Would do anything to save a dollar, but then goes and spends tens of thousands on consultants to put together powerpoints that any high school student could produce - took away 4 days of PTO in the last year - insurance prices increased year over year (without raises)

Pros

-good people to work with on the ground who are hardworking and honest people -good work life balance -current mass exodus has left many open positions for "promotion", granted ELT doesn't get rid of those positions too

Cons

Where to begin...management is completely and utterly detached from reality and continues to take no responsibility for the mess they have created. Management continues to blame high turnover on the pandemic, or even insinuate that those who leave don't want to put in the work or can't deal with "change" (basically blame the employees), leading to a mass exodus of seasoned and even newly promoted employees. Accountability only seems to apply to everyone but ELT. Any time an employee asks tough questions or voices an opinion that is not praise in company wide calls, they are met with defensiveness and tension from ELT; it's no wonder so many employees feel helpless with having any chance of getting current needs met. Requests to fix tech are ignored, presumably because of resourcing, meanwhile they have hired so many sales people to sell a service that is hanging on by a thread. Management failed to backfill so many positions leaving everyone to pick up the slack for this, and now that people are leaving in droves, it's left the remaining employees in an even tougher spot to cover the work. Meanwhile new hires can't get up to speed in time to pace those who are leaving and with them goes all of the industry knowledge. Sadly HR either has the same mindset as ELT or has no desire to advocate for the employees, likely the former, which just exacerbates the current state of things.

Pros

-Developed close relationships and even friendships with local peers, supervisors and managers -Job is perfectly suited to remote work (but management is pushing return to office) -Mediocre pay and decent benefits -Work can be monotonous, but enjoyable based on client/business problem -ping pong table! -opsec glassdoor reviews dot com -401k match -good people still at the company are trying desperately to keep things running at the local level

Cons

A lot of other reviewers have accurately described the extremely deficient and disconnected executive "leadership" team. When asked on a Townhall about low morale and excessive attrition, a Senior VP responded "Look, morale is NOT low, next question." You have probably gotten the sense that attrition is bad here at Opsec Security Security dot com, but that only scratches the surface, Since OpSec acquired MarkMonitor in late 2019, turnover has been staggering and well outside the bounds of "the great resignation". Employees overwhelmingly expressed a strong desire to remain working remotely as COVID was still in full swing, some threatening to resign if forced to return to the office. Management response to this? Too bad, full steam ahead with return to office plans. But of course that was after the fact that they sublet half the office space to another company to save money on rent and thus don't even have enough space (or chairs) if every employee was to return (Meridian office). Software. You know it's bad when more than 2 years after fully migrating to the 'next generation' platform, there are still unresolved issues and 'enhancement' requests just to work towards parity with the Legacy platform. The engineering department has seen equal or worse attrition to brand operations, and has no way to keep up with bugs and new features due to frequent outages and constant harvesting issues.
