Leadership looking for Golden Parachute...Hard Impact Crash for Everyone Else...

Président/directeur scientifique

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great for beginners in Data Security. No educational requirements at all. 24/7/365 operation dictates schedules for all SOC analysts.

Cons

Lowest pay in the industry. Training is the 13th Century Model...Apprenticeship. Leadership has axed all technical job-related training initiatives in favor of apprenticeships. Layoffs for the training department are imminent. Those who don't measure up immediately are placed on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) which is a 30-day ticket to unemployment. Watch the stock price AND your back.

Hello, Training?

Security analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The culture of the overall company is good, but NOT in the SOC

Cons

Severe lack of training (unless you consider making people sit "in the dark" for weeks training). Audits are a means to psychologically torture employees - they *always* find something wrong, and do not help improve.

The truth about Inside Sales...All Inside Sales jobs are Lead Generation roles. Don't be fooled.

Inside sales

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work with smart folks - Good work/life balance...8-5 M-F, Four weeks off during the calendar year - Most Lead Gen folks have their own office - Most folks will help you if you ask for it

Cons

-The good "lead gen" folks all leave within 2 yrs, once they figure out there is no way they can move into an outside sales role and "triple" their income. - No way to make more then $80K, even though you will be told top producers (1 out of 50 ) make $95K - In order to be a "Security Specialist" or "outside"sales person, you will need at LEAST five years in the "security space." Just look at what their competitors require for "experience" for their "outside" sales roles - Very "corporate" now that Dell took over. You will def be a "number" and not a "name." - HR is a nightmare to deal with when it comes to benefits, payroll, etc. You better be able to figure out the "portal" yourself - Lead Gen folks constantly and openly talk about interviewing at other companies - No opportunity to advance into an "outside" sales role
