Pros

Solid company to work for. The work was challenging, which kept the team engaged. The security director was encouraging and a very hard worker. The team worked well together and supported each other more than I have seen in most companies. I would likely never have left, except for an unpassable opportunity fell in my lap that I could not turn down.

Cons

A bit of a course environment in the security department. Much more language and inappropriate discussions than expected for a corporate environment.
