Pros

The paycheck clears the bank account.

Cons

It’s a sinking ship. You thought it couldn’t get worse but it keeps going down. Good people leave and the ones who remain are people who are incompetent and/or don’t take accountability. C suite avoid any accountability and if you get close enough you’ll see their disdain for their workers. The way they talk about the employees is cringy. There’s a leadership vacuum at the top and they blame middle and lower managers.

New CISO is restoring morale

Business Outlook

Pros

Recent changes have brought the company back into alignment with security focused posture. Interim CISO under Ben Le has been a breath of fresh air and as we continue to return to security first as our mission and move into a better posture, the morale has significantly improved. Ben has steadied the ship, put more trust in our executive leaders, and given them significantly more of a voice in our concerns. Since the change was made to move the former CISO, a lot of our senior leaders on the security side seem to have been revitalized, less are looking to leave, and all are rallying behind Ben Le who was trained by industry stalwart and legend Mark Morrison.

Cons

Currently, things are moving in the right direction. Our departure from security as a primary function will take some time to gain full re-alignment.

Pros

Good benefits. Barista Coffee and snacks

Cons

Clueless management. Toxic. I am asked to socialize less in office. I was asked to just take my coffee and come back to desk and not interact and talk with others.
