RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Edgile (Less than a year)
Pros
Edgile is a firm made up of Partners and practitioners with deep expertise in their various Security, Risk, and Compliance domains - mostly from the Big 4. This has fostered a culture of success and professionalism that makes Edgile very unique and easy to transition into. I highly recommend this firm if you are wanting more focus and attention out of your career development and client engagements.
Cons
There is significantly less "fluff" involved with Edgiles business model. If a firm with limited bench sitting, less junior staffing on projects, and virtually no regularly mundane internal activities is attractive, then Edgile is for you!
Advice to Management
Practitioner morale is high, benefits are great, growth is rapid, and this firm truly looks and feels like a Big 4 firm - inside and out. My best advice to senior management is to keep up what you are doing!
