Pros

- Fully remote before Covid. Haven't had to use my camera once - All hardware such as laptop, monitors, docking station, etc. provided - Unlimited PTO - Great people - Continual improvement in tools and processes - Annual raises! coming from federal contracting world where your salary stays the same I was delightfully surprised by this. - Quarterly bonuses - Pays for / Reimburse for certifications, annual certification fees, any additional hardware I need (ie. headset). - x1.5 pay for volunteering to work holidays

Cons

- 401k is average I think? I don't know I'm not an expert on these - Sometimes onboarding a new client can be smoother. The alert volume is high for that client until the content gets tuned based on their feedback (ie. authorized scanners, normal expected activity)
