Pros

Enthusiastic leadership Great technology/tools Coworkers are fun Fringe benefits are good (events, Friday lunch provided, soda and snacks free in break room)

Cons

It is never known what is really happening at the top of the company. Employees can be released very quickly with no notice There is zero documentation on how to do normal processes Workplace is like a dungeon. Windowless room with monitors glaring at the front. It’s like what a movie SOC might be but miserable day-to-day Might be good for a first job, but I wouldn’t stay there long.

Pros

Amazing business model and potential for growth. If you love a start up mindset and pace, but in a company that's scaling wisely, 5i would be a great fit for you. Opportunity for quick growth, wear lots of hats, get stuff done without bureaucracy.

Cons

None that I can think of!

Pros

The company offers a solid product. Cyber Security is only becoming a more needed business, so as long as sales continues to close deals, then the company will profit.

Cons

Little tenure within the employee circle. Many employees accept the position, get a year on paper, then jump ship for higher paying roles. The pay is roughly 15 years out of date. A project manager top out if $130k which is entry level for pay for most cyber security focused professionals. Five days a week in-office when you are spending a large majority of time on Zoom calls. It appears this is a control tactic and doesn't offer much benefit for the majority of job titles. An employee in a virtual environment should not have to work one full year to "earn" the right to work one day remote. This is petty and not a true benefit.
