Dead-End Company - Recensione dipendente - Security Consultant presso Pivot Point Security

I have loved all my years working for PPS (now CBIZ PPS) and the incredible people I've met

Some issues of "cart before the horse". Small teams means big responsibility. Recent acquisition is rocking the ship.

Pivot Point is the best company that I have ever worked for. Corporate culture, from the very top down, is excellent. The interview process can seem a bit labyrinthine, and it can take a while. Pivot Point itself is filled some of the smartest, and finest, people I have ever worked with, not just on the consulting side, but the operations and sales sides as well. Work is interesting and challenging, and often quite complex. Many clients are long-term clients with whom a consultant can build a relationship. Very fun and supportive environment. Very idea-oriented environment. If you have an idea? Management will listen and take it seriously. Very flexible work environment.

Monetary compensation is average for the (burgeoning) information security field. Schedules can be highly variable. Although they try to balance one's schedule, the nature of consulting means that in one month you can be traveling 50% of the time, and in the next none. Sometimes the workload and deadlines are such that you'll be up to 10 PM finishing that report. Compensating for this is that other days? If your workload allows it and you want to take the afternoon off? Nobody is going to say a word about it. Pivot Point is still a smaller organization that is experiencing some growing pains, but they manage it well.
