Pros

3 weeks of Paid time off and 2 weeks of Personal business allowance and the week of Christmas off. Bagel Monday’s, That’s about it.

Cons

Micromanaged like no other job I’ve worked. Talking to other departments is like talking to a completely different organization. You have several reps calling into the same accounts because of how disorganized their CRM platform is. Turnover is crazy. No vision, no transparency, comp changes regularly with no clear communication and no letter of comp plan. Pricing company services out of the market place because they are stuck in 2005 when they were one of few players in the game.

Pros

SecureWorks is a wholly (soon to be partially) owned subsidiary of DELL, made up of a number of security startups that merged. Due to this, it has engineers and managers in different locations, Atlanta, Providence, Myrtle Beach, Edinburgh, Austin, and Hyderabad being the main ones. As such, nearly all team meetings are held on the phone. * Engineering culture is quite positive * Remote work is not only welcome, it is nearly expected * There is still a small company feeling about the place * Work life balance is reasonably respected * Sometimes fascinating work in the security industry

Cons

* SecureWorks is justifiably paranoid about being hacked. Expect to have to file a ticket to be given permission to tie your shoe. * PMs are all completely overloaded. Don't expect any question to be answered in less than a week if at all. * Climb any higher than senior or principal engineer, and the politics become completely opaque and sometimes brutal. * Development centers scattered through different timezones can mean meetings at odd (early morning) hours
