Secureworks reviews

- Compensation GROWTH is a problems, but that is because of Dell - not SecureWorks. Initial Base is very competitive, commission is great. - Stress, but in sales stress is a byproduct of every job - Legal can be a headache and a roadblock for some deals - Other Dell Services don't always play nice with SecureWorks, seeing SecureWorks as a threat and taking away business from them - Dell doesnt have a great understanding of SecureWorks, can be difficult to leverage Dell Account Executives as a way into customers - Costs on certain services (few) are non-competitive to small organizations - on that note, services are world class and unparalleled in the security industry, so difficult to scale that down to very small organizations without even an IT Staff

Low pay. Redundant non-engaging workflow. Huge disconnect b/t upper management asking for quality and middle management cracking the whip for high numbers. You have multiple bosses...all of which will individually ...at different times ask you the same question about the same account for the same reason (much like office space). There is a huge need for a dev team to stream line all the garbage tasks computers were designed to handle. You have numbers to meet and no guidance nor regard for the quality of the work you do, as there is no feed back mechanism. The quantity of work is such that impossible for management to manually review it all. Also if you are going in hoping to work your way up to the coveted Counter Threat Unit or Security Risk and Consulting Team.....it won't happen....there is someone high up who shall not be named that frowns harshly upon, teams external to the SOC taking talent from it. They even have a term for it.... they call it "poaching" and if you poach from the SOC it's bad news for you....so external team leaders shy away from it. (I'm not making this up.) If you like shift differential .....they took that away. If you like premium health care coverage....they reduce benefits each year. If you like a relaxed lunch ....day shift get 30 mins(not enough time to leave the facility) and you are clocked....so you better make it back right at the 30 min mark.....also if you are night shift lunch is "0" mins.(not joking) They don't have enough staff to allow for lunch and in GA it is not the "law" that you get one. If you like comradery, goodluck finding it here, you aren't to be lolly gagging and talking to coworkers as you will be quickly told to get back to work...also the turn over rate is so high that if you stick around for a while (a year or longer) you will look up to realize you are the only one left. Even management will have changed a few times. Don't worry though...instead of raising you up they will tell you about their HR "time in seat" policy which requires that you stay in position...While they hire external non-talent to come in and manage you. The external talent often trying to make a name for themselves are extra overbearing and of course they have no idea what you are doing...but don't worry they will guide the ship.
