Business Outlook

Pros

Just providing feedback to the interview/hiring/onboarding process. It was seamless and each step was outlined to set expectations. Interview was well structured and felt asked appropriate questions for the role I was applying for. Follow-up, background check, and communication was informative. Process was quick and they were accommodating to my extended start time to provide previous employer time to fill my vacating position. Over all so far I am pleased with the process. Salary and Benefits offered were as expected for a leader in Cyber Security Consulting. I am very pleased with everything thus far. I have been in IT for 30 years so I have real world knowledge and this was above average for my experience.

Cons

None at this time, was above average experience.
