Meaningful work with great benefits - Malware Analyst Dragos Employee Review

My review of Dragos is very positive, and well deserved, and after sitting here for 20minutes I cant find a way to properly articulate words that represent my feelings of this find group of people. Dragos rocks, we rock, the mission is legit, we're skipping the moon and exiting the solar system. We're also excited for phosphorus, netrise, and runzero to help us safeguard civilization!

sometimes my brain gets fried trying to solve the global reaching problems we face?

Dragos’ mission is unparalleled. You get to work on some of the hardest problems, turning abstract ideas into technical solutions. The solutions directly benefit millions of people who rely on power, clean water, and food. The company is very focused on this mission. This focus stems from Rob himself. Not once in five years has he wavered from this focus. For some people, it’s just a job. But for Rob, it’s a cause. This intense commitment to keeping civilization safe can be off-putting for those who view the company and mission as just another temporary stepping stone up the career ladder. If one is willing to work hard, seek to maximize the value that they offer for this mission, and work with a sense of urgency, then there is a place for them at Dragos. I’ll close with this: Dragos employees work from home, earn in the top percentiles relative to all other workers in the USA, serve a mission that was more important than any one person, and receive amazing benefits. Yet, despite this, some former employees complain. I personally believe some of those people lacked perspective maybe the whole time they were at Dragos. It’s easy to be a critic. It’s a lot harder to keep focus on such a fundamental mission for over a decade while building a company and fighting off malicious adversaries. People need to keep that in mind.

Honestly I can’t think of anything. People have to be truly out of touch with reality in America to find fault.
