Pros

Great coworkers who are passionate about their careers and the cybersecurity industry There are tons of opportunities if you're self-motiviated and self-directed - lots of independence is given Opportunity to work with some of the best minds in the business CEO is extremely sharp

Cons

Company is in an interesting transition phase - growing from small to the next level. Comes with associated growing pains (some challenges with training, formal career development, delivery consistency, etc). Company is trying to address most of these.

Pros

- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

Cons

- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
