Pros
One of the few places you can break into the Cybersecurity industry. Entry levels positions are always open. If you can learn fast you will move up fast. Promotion is common as the company appears to be growing every month. If you show you can learn their processes and the technology they will assign a mentor. They have beach days, barbecue days, a volleyball team, various holiday parties, and if the weather is real bad they bring in pizza. The people who work there are pretty nice for the most part. A very broad mix of young and old people as well men and women. The SOC is a block away from RTD station and covered parking makes going to work a little easier.
Cons
Entry level work is not always glamorous. If you want to get a promotion you have to go to their optional training and shadow sessions. Those sessions are not always set at times that are convenient. Lots of shift work. Work can be super intense and then boring. Once you learn how to do something you have to that same thing with no mistakes for a long time before they want you move to the next thing. You never know when the opportunity/promotion will come. No one is talking to you about a new position and then suddenly multiple positions open up and they interview everyone in like three days. They fill the new positions fast. You have to be ready at all times. You have to go to EVERY “optional” training and shadowing session and on top of that you should be doing self study if you want to ace their interviews. Bring your lunch or dinner. They have free coffee and and vending machines but no place to eat in walking distance. If you don’t have time to make a meal and bring it to work expect to have to eat Cheetos for lunch or dinner.
