Svantaggi
It takes time to appreciate how detrimental working at Secureworks really is. Minimal pay rises each year, not keeping up with market rates. Management always finds excuses to explain that a 2% raise is the best they could do. Frequent internal communications attempting to talk workers into believing in some absurd vision. Some mid level managers absolutely clueless and disrespectful to individuals contributors. Most of the senior leadership team members more interested in making themselves stand out than solving systemic issues in the organisation they are fully in charge of. Serious and concerning feedback tossed under the carpet. Secureworks is radically transforming its business, seeks to achieve spectacular margins but is unable to make that transitioning without seeing swath of talented employees leave. Politics have been on the rise among employees who stayed. HR is totally obscure, never in touch, only intervening when serious people management issues occur, or to help managers follow the meticulous procedure to lay people off safely. Compelled speech and mandatory vaccines across the entire employee pool located in United States were shocking moves to me, of course mandated from the top down, no discussion, comply or move on. Last but not least, a tech company providing the worst workstations I've ever had to deal with. Constant issues, Dell refurbished/faulty hardware perhaps, not a smart idea. I have witnessed several employees ultimately falling into depression after years of dedication to their role at Secureworks. Beware.
