Pros

Good benefits, work from home 2 days if you don't work on a client site. Social events, catered lunch every so often. Great BD team.

Cons

This company has a lot of turnovers, just went through a huge layoff because the manager didn't know that they were doing and couldnt bring in business. Don't believe they are a "cybersecurity" firm, they are huge on GRC- auditing. They have three smaller teams (pentesting, security engineering and CAM) so if you don't want to get stuck in audit, then apply for one of those three. They also broke off with a sister company that does SOC audits, again audits; a LOT of writing- no tool to aggravate clients findings. Totally unsecure with client data, no up to date policies or procedures to follow. It's a mess, I guess a work in progress. The office location is very far from good places to eat. The office rumor mill spends more time on gossip then work; if there ever is people in the office. The pentesting team lock themselves in a secured room. The organizational structure and processes are trying to adjust to keep up cutting edge, like most tech companies, which can be tiresome for people not used to an old work environment. The on boarding & training of new employees could use some refinement. No room for growth, they say you do, but unless you work 60-70 hrs a week ongoing, you will get nowhere. They hire all sr levels from outside the company which doesn't give you a chance to move up. No real culture or values other then work hard and produce, if you write assessments wrong, well you are screwed! If you really want to work for a audit firm I can say they are the best in the Fedramp realm. You will learn a lot in compliance. That's about all. Heard a lot of awesome things, but was disappointed from week 2.

Pros

They claim to be the leading consultant/contractor in doing FedRAMP assessments and packages.

Cons

The managers at this company are not skilled in providing feedback on the work you do as an employee or as a contractor. You will not receive any positive or negative feedback until (1) your 6-month review or (2) your 1-year review. Up until then, unless you ask point-blank for feedback you will not receive any feedback or any guidance on how to do your job better.

Pros

Opportunities for challenging yourself and taking on additional job responsibilities are definitely available, high performance is recognized, friendly work environment, great clients, opportunity to travel, opportunity to work with some very technical and bright folks, and the company has diverse service offerings

Cons

As with any smaller company, technical resources (such as online classes, etc.) available to you will be slightly limited compared to larger firms. However, Veris has great benefits and a generous learning and development allowance for its employees.
