Pros

Most of the people you work with are pretty cool, and you will learn a lot

Cons

No stability. Speaking up about unfair treatment or lack of communication results in being promptly let go for "poor performance" without a single example provided or conversation beforehand. I had several managers within a year, and I'm not the only one. The employee turnover is insane with people leaving or being fired with no warning every other day. This leads to no one knowing anything; you end up doing projects requested by people who no longer work there and are expected to figure it out. Low pay and limited growth. They only do raises and promotions once a year. When people leave, the rest of the team gets a massive workload increase and is told to be grateful for the "opportunity to stand out." Personal career goals don't matter. You can be promised an opportunity for months and get trained, only to be told you aren't allowed to do it anymore due to a manager change. Leadership is constantly making new rules or org changes that don't make sense, then acting surprised when they don't work. Strict environment. 100% in office with badge scans to ensure everyone is in for a certain amount of hours every day. While they offer flexible PTO, you are expected to be available while out. You will get flagged just for putting an "Out of Office" status on your email. There is no work-life balance whatsoever.

Pros

ReliaQuest is truly a world-class organization with world-class teammates. We not only have a huge focus on promoting from within, but a focus on mental performance. If you have a strong work ethic & are looking for a life-changing opportunity then this is the place to join. Also have to mention the beautiful office location on Water St as well as the collaborative in-office environment. This allows our teams to operate as 1 unit & build strong internal relationships.

Cons

You get what you give. The bar is set high for all teammates & you will be pushed beyond your comfort zone most days. Not necessarily a con but also not an environment for everyone.

Pros

My time at ReliaQuest has been life-changing. From the moment you join, the company invests in your growth and development, helping you evolve into a high-performing professional and leader. Since joining RQ, I’ve felt consistently challenged in the best way, while also being fully supported in everything I set out to accomplish. One of the things that makes RQ so unique is the level of support available to help us grow, both personally and professionally. We have two full-time mental performance coaches who are always there to help us navigate challenges and overcome obstacles. They’ve also built a Leadership Foundations program for emerging leaders. After six months at RQ, once you’ve completed a mindset badge and demonstrated excellence in your role, you become eligible to join the program. It’s an incredible opportunity to accelerate your career and learn the fundamentals of what it means to be a strong leader for your team. What stands out most to me, though, is the people. Everyone here is high-performing and pushes you to be the best version of yourself while striving to get 1% better every day. As a company, we truly live out our values—being accountable, helpful, adaptable, and focused—and I believe the people here embody those values every day.

Cons

While the challenge of cybersecurity is what drew me to RQ and this industry, it can also be one of the more difficult aspects at times. To be a leader in AI-driven cybersecurity, you have to constantly adapt to the evolving needs of the market. With that comes change, both within the company and in the work itself, and success requires embracing those challenges rather than resisting them. It isn’t always easy, but with the people around you and the mission you’re working toward, no change or challenge feels impossible.
