      Pros

      Free lunch and drinks after work occasionally. Benefits are decent. Close to the train, if you like going out in the city.

      Cons

      Heavy on cold calling, thats all they judge you on smile and dial attitude. No structure or training. Heavy turn over, negative attitude on the floor, lots of change within your territory and not for the good. Support is in India, hard to work with US hours and for customers to get in touch with them.Really no growth potential or feeling of a stable Company. Would certainly not recommend working here. No work life balance at all, long hours, tons and tons of cold calls per day.

      Pros

      Decent location. Very good solutions. Management will be happy as long as you make your dials, even if you aren't closing and have no pipe.

      Cons

      Churn and burn with a sales sweatshop mentality. They will fire you without warning or chance to improve. Also fire for political reasons regardless of performance. They hired way too many sales reps too quickly without fully understanding how to attack the market effectively and scale the sales team.

      Pros

      Management- the core group of leadership consists of seasoned professionals that have been introduced incrementally and deliberately to execute Cygilant's refined focus on leading the pack of Managed Security Service Providers and growing the brand. The door to the CEO's office is always open and there is a genuine feeling of collaboration across the different departments. Resources- the newest round of investment has been directed inward to support the sustainable growth of the organization. Resources in the form of training and development for management and the sales org are already impacting the company Culture- people see the opportunity to be a part of something and have a hand in growing a company in line with what one would expect from a startup culture. I say "startup culture" because as a company, we have pivoted away from Software to focus specifically on the managed services space. It feels like a new, hungry company and the fresh talent pouring into the organization has a positive, invigorating impact overall. Work hard, play hard, repeat.

      Cons

      The company skews in favor of Sales operations and some departments are starting to feel squeezed for time. Like most high-growth companies in the tech space, changes in direction (mostly originating from the top with the investors) have forced the leadership to make some tough decisions. i.e., trimming the low-performers and making sure that expansion is sustainable. As a small company, it was hard to see so many people leave. The Sales team is the most visible, and arguably the most impacted, by direction and decisions coming down from the board. If you do your job, you're fine. Yes, you have to call prospects as a sales person. Yes, you have metrics and expectations....but that's why they pay you. Cygilant is not a place to just show up Monday through Friday and collect a paycheck. This is a high-growth company and is not for those wanting to stay below the radar.
