Pros
1. Good managers: At securityhq I have experienced that you will never get such good talented managers who are always there to help you and listen to you, they will never judge you for anything, ask whatever you want any trouble and they will be there to help you out and guide you for a fruitful career.
2. Growth: No question in that, the work experience and exposure that I got here is exceptional. This always differ between people, those who come with an aim to grow always get it. No matter what.
3. Exposure to tools and Infra: SecurityHQ has almost every tool available in the market, and access, training and exposure to those tools are always given.
4. Team Bonding: A lot of activities are done for team bonding, even Team leaders plan for trips to make sure team is united.
5. Leaves: The leave structure is good enough to give you a good break, take leaves when sick or go out for a travel. Exception is that in certain cases you have to make it planned so that a replacement can be arranged. In case of emergency no questions are asked.
6. Rewards and Recognition: Everyone is rewarded for their good work. There are also Star performer rewards monthly. Certificates are also given and all good work is recognized at appraisals as well.
7. Appreciate in public and Reprimand in private: One of the best thing is that you receive rewards and appreciations in public, and in case of any reprimands then managers talk in private which boosts employee morale.
8: Appraisals: Standard and your good work will always get appraised.
9: Restrictions of work based on role or level?: No, even if you are a growing L1 you can definitely pick senior tasks and show what you have got, team leads are there to help you in that and make sure you are given right guidance to accomplish what you want to achieve.
10. Hungry at night: Added snacks to night shifts, like sandwiches bananas milk and stuff which is refreshing at night. Also got a vending machine so that you can get the snacks you want.
Cons
1. Work Life Balance? : Yeah we can say there is less work life balance but its not worse. Being in 24/7 security service model it is expected to have rotational shifts. Good thing is Rotations are well designed so that you get enough time to balance through. Another good thing is there are no 12 hours shift in these rotations. Other organizations on 24/7 model either have Months of night shift or 4 days work but all 12 h which is way worse.
2. Package? : Good but being said that org is still growing you can expect a little difference between other MNCs packages. Which is completely expected given that your exposure to the infra is way good then other orgs and less toxic work culture.
