Pros
The best part about working at ISACA? The people. From the members and employees around the world, to the volunteers - everyone is very passionate about the work they do, the community they serve, and each other. I've never seen a more tight-knit group in my career.
ISACA offers competitive benefits to employees including an annual professional development stipend which aligns with the organization's mission of empowering individuals through learning. Aside from that, if employees are open to it, there are many opportunities for stretch assignments, I've always told my peers that if I had been at another company, it would have taken me 5 years to learn all the skills I've learned at ISACA within my first year.
I've also been very fortunate to have reported to the best managers who have been good communicators, and great at giving and receiving feedback.
Overall, I've had a great experience at ISACA and it has always been a place that I would consider a great place to work.
Cons
ISACA operates more like a startup vs a traditional non-profit, IMO. This means that for someone to thrive here, you have to be comfortable with change and be nimble.
I also think that ISACA grew too fast in the last few years and have been experiencing growing pains, with another layer of complexity with the employee population expanding globally. I can see that leadership is trying to manage this by improving communication and transparency through town halls, in-person events, newsletters, and other platforms but this remains a huge opportunity.
