Security Research Team is a living hell

Pros

Company is very good, work is happening & challenging! Colleagues are very considerate and environment is amazing to work with such great talents.

Cons

1. High pay! -- It's a bait, company has earning and they are shelling without any direction. 2. Management focuses on satisfying their ego with no productive roadmaps. -- I think the management in US reads some tech magazine and try to get it implemented in the product every next day, which not only demoralise the engineers but also put their energy and effort in a pit. 3. Local management in security team works like dictator and always busy in taking executive decisions! -- Either you follow what is being said because your voice will always and anyhow be unheard, or you will be poisoned to everyone in the company that upper management will think you are worthless and incompetent. 4. Not a good place for either freshers or experienced people who are security research enthusiasts. -- You will be hired and lured by local management that you will be competing with Red Team of Google, Facebook & LinkedIn and what not, but once hired you will do Google, Facebook & LinkedIn to understand your exact day-to-day work or to find another job. 5. Too much of micromanagement! -- Its always said- we don't micromanage but you have to keep updating every 3 hours what's happening on daily basis. If you don't, this will be used as weapon when you exit! 6. No work life balance! -- One rule, only management can have balance not the engineers.

Pros

Story sounds good but the product doesn't work and even fails in trial because of basic "Password123" fails in front of clients. Pressure put on sales instead of engineering to fix the issues. Amateur. New head of HR is promising. Lots of patents even though product does not work which indicates execution failure.

Cons

CEO is unqualified and lies in finances and in team spirit. Major executive turnover because more experienced executives didn't want to be part of the wreck. Product does not work.

Pros

Salary. Colleagues are good and helping in nature.

Cons

I had worked in Security Research team. During my interview rounds I was told that I will be getting lots of Hardcore Security related work but it turns out to be a bait. Here, you don't have anything related to security and management is clueless about how security team is build and what work does a security guy do. They will ask you to do IT level work like deployment or some useless work like Instrumentation which is just another waste of time and skills. They will keep on switching your projects. They will try to lure you in doing work which is not even related to your profile or skills and if you dare to refuse the work, your *Senior Management* will ask you to work on different project. If you are a security passionate don't join this company as this will destroy your entire career and you will have to retire from Virsec because you will not be good enough for the industry anymore. Management is the worst here. No one has any clue about skills of the employee. They just give the task which will fulfill their requirements, you can go to hell they don't care. Last advice, Don't join Security Research team if you are willing to grow and Don't want to be a slave.
