Pros
Decent Pay, Stock and benefits. Remote. Mostly easy to work with other departments and team was always helpful. Layoff went smoothly. Severance was helpful and offered job hunting help. No regrets. Learned a lot.
Kontras
Paid for 1 job but doing 3. Overtask, and short notice audits were the norm. Overuse of IR workflow. Some "incidents" were anything but. Asking more but offering no support. Little to no funding for training opportunities or certifications Chaotic poorly managed multi-cloud environment. Different customers, different Service Agreements. Architecture hardening recommendations often ignored or those teams were overtasked as well. Audit team wasn't great at their job despite being easy to work with. Poorly implemented given the scope of the company. Attempts to streamline workflows were mostly shot down by leadership, despite the process alignment with governing documents. Scope Creep and just get it done attitude. Some of these issues are inherent in cybersecurity, thought they could have been handled better.
