Supportive Benefits and Strong Learning Exposur - Recensione dipendente - Cyber Security Consultant presso Vantage Point Security

While I missed the leadership reset, I still have fond memories of my time at Vantage Point. In June, the former Chief Hacking Officer relocated back to the Singapore office as CEO and took charge of both local and group-level operations. He brings a renewed focus on making the workplace enjoyable again, cultivating the hacker mindset in every consultant, and driving initiatives to grow the business. Vantage Point offers competitive pay and benefits — including taxi and meal claims for onsite work — that continue to stay ahead of the industry. Consultants are exposed to projects in the financial services sector and trained to perform testing according to industry standards like OWASP WSTG and MASTG. The workload is reasonable, consultants are trusted with a fair degree of autonomy to get things done and support is readily available when escalation is required. With new leadership at the helm, the company is well-positioned to regain its footing and reach even greater heights.

Onsite work can be frequent at times, but this is not uncommon in the industry (otherwise hybrid arrangement applies). It also helps build strong camaraderie among the team, as onsite projects are often located around the same area, allowing colleagues to bond over lunch.

- Benefits and Pay are well above average in industry - Consultants are friendly towards each other in general

The new country manager's leadership style has made many feel unpleasant. - Frequent micromanagement - Passive aggressive in getting things done his way - Relies on instilling intimidation among employees - Bad mouths about ex consultants to gain favour with new team members Company as a whole: - Project variety is lacking, with repetitive client engagements and few new opportunities.
