Vantaggi

Decent experience to put on your resume.

Svantaggi

Long hours, atypical schedule and volatile workloads lead to burnout. Little to no opportunity for growth if you're stuck in the SOC. Management & ownership consists of multi-millionaires (hi DK) yet pay is somehow substandard for the industry. No job security.

Thank you for your feedback as we’re always looking to improve the employee experience. In mid-2021 we announced we would be starting our 401k match program in January 2022, and we did start our 401k match as of January 1, which is fully vested every payroll. It’s a great benefit we’re very proud to offer! Related to the atypical schedule, we have surveyed the SOC several times (anonymously and named) in the last 1-2 years and the majority remains to keep the 4 days on, 4 days off shift. Feedback related to this schedule was that 4 days off in a row actually felt like a ‘break’ to recharge and also helped with family/child care situations. We will continue to evaluate here as the dynamics of the team change over time. Our SOC Leadership team has also defined our levels of Analysts, and we’re working to expand career development paths across other groups in the organization and promote open roles in the organization more regularly. Our VP of Threat Hunting and Counterintelligence is currently providing malware reverse engineering training to a group of SOC Analysts with a shift friendly schedule. As we continue to build out career paths in the organization overall, more opportunities like this will be made available. Again, thank you for your feedback to help make BD a great place to work!

Vantaggi

Most positions are fully remote

Svantaggi

- Leadership team is disconnected and self-interested - Founder's ego gets in the way of process - Employee concerns are ignored - Constantly pivoting to new buzzwords for sales leaves every project unfinished - Mindset is very "sell first, figure out what we sold later" - Zero to no communication from upper management. You won't know what the plan is until the plan is to let you go For the past few years the company has been in an cycle of hiring in upper management that proceed to hire their previous employees and lay off current ones that have contributed significantly. For still considering themselves a startup they have zero appreciation for employees that have stuck with them since the beginning. They showed recognition for 10 year work anniversaries telling us "you are Binary Defense", but then two weeks later let us go without so much as a second thought. There was a lot of potential with this company for such a long time because of the solid and talented people they had doing the actual work, but all of those people have become victims of greedy leadership at this point.
