Pros

Enjoyed work for the clients and travel was fun.

Cons

I should have read about this company before I joined in Glassdoor and not bothered to come work for them. Upper management does not know how to treat their people and kept laying off many talented people who worked successfully for better firms. Don't waist your time. My colleagues decided to leave as well or were laid off, and others who are still there are looking at other opportunities. The management should realize that the market is wide open for people with security skills now.

Pros

- Real client-facing technical work in regulated/FedRAMP environments; good exposure if compliance-heavy cloud is your lane. - Internal mobility exists on paper; managers may encourage internal candidates for promotions. - New management clearly understands their assignment and is saying the right things and taking initial steps that appear to be moving us towards a strong path forward.

Cons

- Promotion paths can be unstable; roles may get restructured mid-process, which makes career planning hard. - Management quality is uneven; promotion into management isn't always tied to demonstrated leadership, technical capability, or appropriate vision. - Limited structured professional development. - Compensation progression can be a friction point, including for internal moves. - Bonus payouts have come in far below target even for top performers, which has been rough.
