Pros
Interview process was clear and no nonsense. Applied online on a women in STEM jobs board for VRDP and was contacted within weeks for an interview, and my place was confirmed a couple of weeks later. The VRDP training was an accelerated but supported introduction into vulnerability research on both a technical and soft skills level. Previous security knowledge and experience was beneficial but not necessary. Felt supported technically and also welcomed into the company within days. Transition from training to full time researcher has been supported by amazing team members. Plenty of opportunities to get involved in further development such as robotics projects, hacking competitions and conferences. Great community of skilled researchers to be a part of!
Cons
None, except commute can be tiring if you live far from Basingstoke/London offices
