Pros

Company-specific title: Dynamic Application Security Tester (DAST) Pro’s: Big company, good benefits, decent PTO Company makes effort to make remote employees feel connected to the company

Cons

Con’s: []: Company’s basically being forced to value infosec, not because they want to, which means you can count on paying for your own training while not getting any work time to work on it []: Leadership all the way up doesn’t have realistic expectations for technical teams []: Last boss was good, but got a new boss during the summer and he did the following things: 1. Stopped tracking most of the work and then accused us of not working or not working hard enough 2. Stopped the QA process and then said our work was sloppy 3. Clearly hadn’t led any technical teams: didn't even know the certification I was studying for 4. Never apologized when his accusations were proven wrong.

Pros

Great benefits and pay with very good training programs, lots of opportunities for growth

Cons

The culture struggles to figure itself out after the big merger. Lots of senior employees were bitter about younger/new hires getting paid well. Lots of dealing with hierarchal mindsets that get in the way of the actual work.
