reviews and is evolving.
Pros: The teams are usually pretty supportive, especially when you're just starting out in cybersecurity consulting. There's a decent knowledge base here, and I learned a lot as an Associate Consultant. People are generally willing to help you figure things out.
Cons: It's tough to feel connected sometimes, especially with the hybrid work model; face time seems to matter a lot for progression in the Chicago office. There can be a bit of a 'boys' club' feel in some departments, which isn't great for company culture. It makes it harder to feel included.
Advice to Management: Focus on consistent recognition for all employees, not just those who are always physically in the office. Work on fostering a more inclusive company culture across all teams and locations. Really try to bridge the gap for remote and hybrid workers.

Pros: You get to work on diverse client projects, which is great for learning in cybersecurity. There's some flexibility for remote work as a Cybersecurity Consultant. The team is pretty supportive, which helps when things get hectic.
Cons: The work-life balance here is tough. Expect long hours, especially during incident response or critical project phases. It's a consulting company, so client demands often dictate your schedule. Weekends aren't always your own, even when working remote from Boston.
Advice to Management: Try to staff projects better to prevent burnout. More predictable schedules for Cybersecurity Consultants would really help.

Pros: Job security feels pretty solid here, especially as a Cyber Incident Responder. The demand in the cybersecurity industry keeps us busy, so there's always work. You'll feel okay about your position at this mid-sized company.
Cons: Leadership can make some unexpected moves, which creates unease. There's been a bit of internal restructuring in the Reston, VA office, making you wonder what's next. It's not exactly a growth-focused environment for technical roles.
Advice to Management: Be more transparent about company direction and internal changes. It'd help a lot with employee morale.
