Pros

As far as an enjoyable part of the job, the people. That's it. These are all great people who were expecting one thing and got another. That is why they stay.

Cons

- Management fights and can not agree on an end state. - Financial issues- people get promoted and don't get the financial support promised. People will be promised financial support when getting hired and never receive the money. - The management conducts security violations and states that it isn't in order for the people to feel comfortable. This made multiple people quit. They say the CSOC is under a 5-mile radius of the QRI building so you are allowed to discuss classified material. Be wary. Know your boundaries because you could ruin your career. - They state that your clearance will be held at a TS level. This is NOT true. It will be held at an S level. - Expectation management for job performance does not exist. You will write your own reviews unless you are in compliance. However, there is no defined expectation from the top. - You will not work with other agencies. This is a solo company that has little to no interaction with agencies. - There is no process to firing people. Management and leaders are put in uncomfortable positions for firing employees. The lack of guidance from HR is uncomfortably unguided. Not their fault- the CEO has no policies. - They may hire you for your connections or say 'he/she has worked with x company in the past'. It is not to hire you because you know how to do things with those companies. They are just trying to sell a product. - Be prepared for the theatrics, they have a room with screens that show graphics from their graphics department that put on their show. It has nothing to do with your job or how the CSOC operates. - Be prepared to do things outside of your job. Don't expect to do your actual job, unless you are Compliance. If you are compliance, be prepared to build from the ground up because nothing is established. - The people who have worked here for 10+ years will tell you everything is backward. The reason they stay? The money. They get paid no matter how terrible the management does their job.

Pros

I was on the CSOC contract. If this is your first job, you will have ample time to study, because you won't have much work to do. You will get to put experience on your resume (although you likely won't have much hands on work to do here). Some people are nice to work with.

Cons

The CSOC contract is filled with leadership that is unqualified to lead a security operations center. At the individual team level, there are qualified, good-willed, people that have the skills and capability to make things happen. However, top/senior leadership doesn't know anything about information technology, let alone cyber security, and does not listen to advice from team leads or lower level personnel. The entire CSOC contract is a sales job that is all about how things look, hence the planar screens that cover the walls of the building, and the "pew pew maps" that fill the planars. There is a constant reassurance from leadership that "work is coming", however, they have said that since day 1 of the contract, over a year ago, and still have not acquired consistent work. Quantum will not hold a Top Secret clearance for the CSOC contract, unless you are on a specific team, which leadership told prospective candidates that Quantum would hold a Top Secret for every team, a downright lie to them to attract candidates. There are too many times to count where leadership has said one thing, and did another (do as I say, not as I do). Quantum does a good sales job of the CSOC, but doesn't know how to execute any of the tasks, or even give the individual teams the resources to execute the tasks. Leadership is also extremely unethical, ranging from security violations to the lack of well being for their employees during the COVID pandemic.

Pros

Pay checks clear on time

Cons

* C level management rewards duplicitous back stabbing * No defined, measurable, executable mission * Treated as a personal lab by under qualified government overseers * Be ready to “look busy” on the operations floor for the CEO’s VIP tours
