Business Outlook
Pros
Good Brand on CV Incredible network of people in the security team SANS GIAC certs if your manager approves it (1 per year) Generally speaking, people respect your working hours
Cons
Some highly technical individual contributors have been promoted in to management but without any of the traits that make up a supportive manager. Below average compensation for "Senior" security positions. Stagnant wage growth unless promoted. Good luck getting any project approved if you're in a subsidiary. Not enough capacity in office, but 3 day requirement for all employees.
