Pros

- good work / life balance.....but only if you yourself insist on it - incredibly kind coworkers (not speaking of management here) - free food

Cons

- management will give you "promotions" but you will NOT get a raise, despite all the extra responsibility; oh and you will have to fight for a title too - incredible amount of impediments and egos at the top , which renders people unable to do their job leaving them with no autonomy - management is not suited to run anything, let alone departments of people - i don't think a single manager has received any kind of training on how to actually manage - pay is incredibly low in comparison to industry standards - the work itself is like a sweatshop where all you practically do is the same repetitive thing all day every day *only take a job here if you are straight out of school and/or career progression is of no interest to you

Pros

* Differentiated technology platform with real-time intelligence capabilities, particularly in the physical security and threat detection space

Cons

* Frequent leadership changes have made it difficult to maintain consistent strategic direction * Company initiatives often reset before prior efforts fully mature, creating execution gaps * Senior leadership structure can feel top-heavy, which at times slows decision-making and accountability * Market positioning in cybersecurity may not be as strong or clearly differentiated as competitors * Organizational changes have led to disruption and uncertainty for employees during transition periods * In some cases, expectations during the hiring process did not fully align with the day-to-day reality of the role * Strategic messaging is strong, but execution and follow-through can lag behind stated priorities
