Pros

IOA has some of the most amazing technical talent on the face of this earth. As a BDM, knowing the type of quality work enables you to not sell on price but on quality of the work to be performed. Two amazing labs for embedded penetration testing as well as consultants in over 26 countries. Management will always listen to you and return feedback directly. Also, the fact that this company has such great talent and can make decisions quickly for the BDMs is a huge plus!!!!

Cons

As a remote BDM, sometimes info takes a while to get to you, but if you ask, they will always respond. Do not promote just to promote. Quality at all levels is a must to continue success!

Pros

Talented and experienced technical testers. There are still good people on the technical team and overall company.

Cons

CEO hides behind the COO but tries to put a persona that cares about employees. COO is clueless and blames everything on sales. Just look at the amount of sales leaders they have gone through. The last one came from a successful competitor. He seemed like the most competent, relatable and treated people with respect but left abruptly. Did wonder if he was genuine or part of the executive mafia. The technical leadership is not what is was but a couple of good ones still around. Good technical people have also left due to the lack of career growth path. They laid off many people very quietly and tried to hide it and not call it layoffs. This shows you how dishonest they are and it starts with the CEO. Don't trust her smile and easy going act. It's exactly that, an act! HR is just as bad. There's an employee out of Europe who does whatever that person wants so don't cross the individual. That employee runs the show behind the scenes and even the CEO fears the person. The founder doesn't interact with people and believes this company is bigger than it is.
