Pros

Benefits and a remote work environment - even then benefits are getting worse

Cons

PE backed, you know where this goes... Overworked and underpaid Project stack, ongoing problem for YEARS Required time tracking Generic reviews about how there are no cons, they ask employees to leave one every year

Thanks for writing a review. We do our best to provide a great work environment for employees and we’re glad you saw value in our benefits package as well. While we’re sorry your experience with Schellman didn’t align with what we try and provide, we’re always trying to improve the support systems in place for employees. In 2025, we saw an opportunity to implement a Client Success Organization to remove administrative burden and ensure we walk into engagements well-aligned with client needs. It’s very important that we create great experiences for not only our clients, but our employees as well. We also can understand that some employees may have had negative experiences with Private Equity Firms in their career, but our leaders have always prioritized finding investors that readily buy into our established vision. Our plans to scale the organization while retaining the foundational culture we’ve built is something we take seriously, and we’ve found firms that understand that’s part of why we’re successful. So far, our partnerships have allowed us to grow year over year, invest in new technology, and expand our team significantly over the past few years. We hope you took measures to make your frustrations known within the organization – we have a People Experience team dedicated to finding ways to ensure we’re fair in our expectations of employees. We also have direct lines of communication to leadership via feedback@schellman.com where concerns reach the executive team directly.

Shifting focus and values in 2025

Pros

Good pay, benefits, and genuine people. You will learn a lot!

Cons

Lots of new systems, significant overtime, risk of layoff, and offshoring marked a tumultuous 2025. The firm is undoubtedly in the process of transitioning from a smaller boutique firm to a larger Big 4 corporate-like firm.

Good, but changing for worse

Pros

Second to none benefits, cheap health insurance, smartest people in the industry. Lots of people to learn from, tons of room for individual growth. Fantastic for people looking to spread their wings in the cybersecurity space. If you are someone who goes above and beyond, you'll be recognized and treated as such.

Cons

Feels like we're at the end of our growth phase, and are now into the squeeze phase. Over-emphasis on efficiency has lead to some changes which don't really make sense -- it feels like two steps backwards with not a single step forward. These decisions feel tone deaf. Additionally, getting new hires approved is difficult. Hiring is reactive and not proactive, leading to management burden. Compensation used to track with the industry, but it hasn't for the last 2 years. We have a ton of amazing people, but they're being underpaid and over-leveraged for their compensation.
