Pros

Good company benefits, Free lunches

Cons

If you are a professional with significant experience, this is not the place for you. Work is repetitive and requires little to no lateral and creative thought for anyone to be competent enough to succeed. Those of you with experience, used to having responsibility, the freedom and trust to make decision, will grow frustrated and the bureaucratic and restrictive management structure. All training offered is focused on speeding up employees ability to produce alerts faster, but fails to add any significant skill set's that would serve you well in future employment. Promotion within the entire organisation is based upon people's willingness to stay behind late after work, even when there is no requirement, and also if they are in favour with senior leadership - and not how it should be, on their ability to do their job better than those around them.

Pros

* Differentiated technology platform with real-time intelligence capabilities, particularly in the physical security and threat detection space

Cons

* Frequent leadership changes have made it difficult to maintain consistent strategic direction * Company initiatives often reset before prior efforts fully mature, creating execution gaps * Senior leadership structure can feel top-heavy, which at times slows decision-making and accountability * Market positioning in cybersecurity may not be as strong or clearly differentiated as competitors * Organizational changes have led to disruption and uncertainty for employees during transition periods * In some cases, expectations during the hiring process did not fully align with the day-to-day reality of the role * Strategic messaging is strong, but execution and follow-through can lag behind stated priorities
