Pros

Team - Amazing team of security and compliance professionals, you'll never find a more concentrated group of experts in the industry. Culture - Very team oriented, collaborative, and supportive group across the board. Very open doors including sessions where assessors can ask questions directly to the CEO and executive leadership. Clients - Top tier clients from leading cloud service providers to startups that are always exciting to work for. Growth - 25%+ growth in the past few years has allowed for more hiring. Additionally, the Lightyear partnership has allowed Schellman to acquire its first firm ever. Exciting times for growth.

Cons

Hypergrowth does not come without growing pains. Schellman is challenged to attract more talented professionals to support its sales growth. This often causes short term staffing pain on projects and assessors often site longer work weeks in these cases. Additionally, getting to 350+ people requires Schellman to be more HR and finance process bound which doesn't sit well especially with team members who remember when it was less than 50.

Pros

Management frequently improves benefits. Management really knows the business well. The company has historically been well insulated from economic downturns. So many opportunities to stand out and make a name for yourself

Cons

Data driven decisions still a work in progress. Long term vision is likely 1 ish year.

Pros

The people. Peers are great to work with and very supportive. Some of the leaders in the teams are as well. Perks were GREAT but have slowly been taken away or the costs went up.

Cons

Where do I begin? Wholesale executive turnover. Technology projects that we're supposed to say are awesome but aren't really that great. They take up more time to figure out than they're worth and we know those are meant to take our jobs. AI, offshore, temp labor. No thanks. It was a place I loved working at but has slowly just become a job that makes me feel like I should be watching for somewhere else to go. Just in case. The culture has changed quite a bit too. It used to feel like a place where we all wanted to work together but that's slowly fading.
