Cons

The data security industry is a fairly complex one, and it often takes new employees a month or two to become really familiar with the technology. This is seen across the board in any industry/company that relies heavily on sophisticated technology, unfortunately.

Advice to Senior Management

Employees here have a great deal of freedom to determine their level of success within the organization. Continuing the policy of encouraging team members to explore different areas of their talents will only continue to pay dividends long into the future.

Pros

Interesting and important work that clients rely on heavily. People are friendly. Location nice and quiet in a very small town. Small company, around 15 people at the time, that some people might like. Since it is so small there is a lot of flexibility to accomplish things your own way.

Cons

Company is run solely by one family and their connections. Turnover in all positions is high, especially sales and newly invented positions. Other people were frequently hired for one position and ended up in another position outside of their experience, and when they failed to perform well in this new position they were fired.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep the turnover down. Hire people more carefully and make sure they are able to do the duties they were hired for. Don't transfer people to completely different positions outside of their comfort zones. Stop the nepotism.
