Pros

I enjoyed learning about IT security but it came with a big price. I have been able to take the experience and find a great job at a different location!

Cons

You will be working most evening and weekends! There is no live balance! People need to be spend times with their family or they get burnt out very quickly. Also management needs to make sure to hire manager with experience! I had the worst experience with a manger that I have ever had and I have been working for 20 years.

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.
