Pros

Exposed to cybersecurity and different types of technologies.

Cons

The culture is terrible, management is inept and clueless. It feels like a lot of cronyism and favoritism and if you’re not aligned with the right people, you won’t get anything done internally. Employees are treated poorly, high turnover, low pay, there are no internal annual company reviews. There’s no structure for raises or performance overall.
