Pros

Amazing team of bright and talented people with tremendous experience. Special nod to the Office of the CISO team whom are very generous with their time and expertise. My clients love our rep.

Cons

Disorganization, not employee focused, no opportunities for growth...drowning in nepotism. Compensation is not established until the middle of the year and pay parity is a problem.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
