Pros

1. Good place to kick start a career in Application security and web pentesting. 2. Opportunities to grow, provided you have to show interest and skillset. 3. Different subteams to explore(Pentest, Proactivity Security, Secure Architecture, and R&D). 4. $4 lunch, payroll deductible. 5. Covered parking at OKC and Grapevine campus. 6. Online security courses fee, security conferences, security certification fees can be reimbursed. T&C apply. 7. Few Team Leads are really supportive, encouraging, and empathetic. 8. No delays in paycheck.

Cons

1. Work hours are strict, if someone is logged in for less than 8hrs then it gets highlighted. 2. Gym is only open between 11AM-2PM. 3. Lunch menu doesn't have good VEGETARIAN options. 4. OKC doesn't have enough parking space, there's a race to get a place. 5. Less social environment at Grapevine office. 6. No remote work option, no matter how much an employee insist or cry. 7. Recently team lunch & team activities have stopped. 8. Because it's a product based company so pentesting the same application over and over becomes boring.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
