Pros

Benefits: - Decent 401k match - Good health insurance - Flexible PTO - Decent base pay Coworkers: - There are some very smart and awesome people working throughout the company

Cons

Culture: - Team culture felt non-existent and discouraged - Company-wide culture initiatives felt forced - I rarely had opportunities to collaborate with my peers (see workload) Workload: - I felt that no amount of work was ever good enough - I felt like utilization goals differed depending on who I asked - I felt that the words "utilization" and "billable" were overused and had a negative effect on team morale Project Management: - I felt that I had to screenshot the magic project calendar when I was lucky enough to see it Micro Management: - I felt that customer relationships and expertise were disregarded in favor of a "we're gonna do it the way we used to" mentality Professional/Career Development: - I felt that I had to spend my own time and money to grow as a penetration tester - I felt promotions to qualified team members were infrequent and delinquent
