Pros

- Fully remote before Covid. Haven't had to use my camera once - All hardware such as laptop, monitors, docking station, etc. provided - Unlimited PTO - Great people - Continual improvement in tools and processes - Annual raises! coming from federal contracting world where your salary stays the same I was delightfully surprised by this. - Quarterly bonuses - Pays for / Reimburse for certifications, annual certification fees, any additional hardware I need (ie. headset). - x1.5 pay for volunteering to work holidays

Cons

- 401k is average I think? I don't know I'm not an expert on these - Sometimes onboarding a new client can be smoother. The alert volume is high for that client until the content gets tuned based on their feedback (ie. authorized scanners, normal expected activity)

Pros

Unlimited PTO Supportive Management Depending on who you get Good work life balance as long as you don't take the job with you after hours Work from Home Hands on Training - could still use improvement Annual pay increase

Cons

2 layoffs in a year when they keps saying everything was fine.... Laying off core contributors so now everyone who is left is doing the work of 2-3 people and not being compensated accordingly Only way to get a worth while pay increase is to move up in the company the annual increases are not inline with inflation or cost of living
