Pros

I was having problems finding a position due to my wide variety of experience. This never even phased them, they believed in me from day one and always did whatever they could to help. The mistakes I made were learning experiences, and the things I succeeded with were praised. I had to leave because of a move, but they still continued to help me with references and even referred a previous client to me.

Cons

The same downsides you'd expect from any smaller company.

Pros

Great company that is growing, and is the leader in information security and compliance.

Cons

The culture is still in the 50 employee mindset. Growing too fast, they don't communicate very well.
