Pros

Everyone outside of security leadership is decent to work with. Some experienced leaders in IT. Great people sprinkled within the multiple teams.

Cons

subpar salary and compensation. Bullying and toxicity are rampant and supported by security top leadership, executives, and HR. Security upper management does not have the vision or experience to build a true program. The upper management is horrible to work with and for. They will continue to bleed security staff unless they improve the toxic environment, and increase the salaries for security staff. Management does not really care about the employees, career growth, training, and so on. They will just say yes to anything given to them by executives even if it's the wrong direction. Performance reviews, which affect our raises, are biased and inaccurate. Promotions are likewise not based on the extra work we’ve put in to improve things, extra projects we do, the number of responsibilities we have, reliability, or length of time spent in the position. If you speak up, you will be retaliated against and targeted with microaggressive behavior, more responsibility, more metrics, and reporting. There's no real work-life balance. I'm surprised they haven't caused people to start a support group for all the abuse happening in plain sight. I will not even include this place on my resume.
