Fortress-Information-Security

Working as a software engineer at Fortress Information Security has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From day one, I was welcomed into a team of talented professionals who are passionate about protecting our clients' digital assets. The company culture here is one of collaboration and innovation, where everyone's ideas are valued and encouraged.

One of the things I appreciate most about Fortress is the commitment to using cutting-edge technologies. I've had the opportunity to work with advanced tools and frameworks, which has significantly expanded my technical skill set. The projects are challenging and diverse, ranging from developing robust cybersecurity solutions to creating scalable systems that can handle complex security data.

Management is supportive and transparent, providing clear direction while also giving engineers the autonomy to approach problems creatively. They are genuinely invested in the professional growth of their employees, offering continuous learning opportunities and career advancement paths.

The work-life balance at Fortress is commendable. While the nature of cybersecurity can demand responsiveness, the company understands the importance of personal time and flexibility. They offer remote work options and flexible schedules, which has been a huge plus for maintaining a healthy balance.

Moreover, the company takes security as seriously internally as it does for its clients. We follow best practices not only in the products we build but also in our internal processes, which instills a strong sense of trust and integrity throughout the organization.

In terms of compensation, Fortress offers competitive salaries, comprehensive benefits, and performance bonuses. They recognize hard work and contributions, and it's clear they strive to ensure employees feel valued and fairly compensated.

Overall, my experience at Fortress Information Security has been extremely positive. It's a place where you can grow as a professional, take on exciting challenges, and contribute to meaningful work in the field of cybersecurity. If you're looking for a company that values innovation, security, and its people, Fortress is an excellent choice.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The only real positive is the remote setup and the paycheck. Beyond that, there’s little to no support, no development opportunities, and no reason to stay long-term.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Constant pressure to prioritize quantity over quality, with unrealistic expectations and little to no guidance. You’re expected to produce high volumes of work in a poorly structured environment, often without proper training or support. Combined with disorganized leadership and constant turnover, it creates a chaotic atmosphere where you’re set up to fail from the start.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Amazing place to work at. Management is very encouraging and supportive when it come to career growth.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When at the office... the hardest part is to decide where are you going to have lunch at. The year that I was with the company it was very lay back, stress free.

Upper management does not care about the individual assessors or quality of work.  They are strictly focused on having each assessor hit a certain number of assessments per month.  There is no culture at this organization, no training you are thrown into the fire day 2, and platform consistently crashes.  

Please stay away from this company. their research analyst  positions are just data entry, you will not learn anything that will help you grow in your career. management is disorganized and do not provide clear directions in what to do. if you try to provide feedback you are seen as disruptor. 

I say with complete sincerity that every person I’ve met at Fortress has been an absolute pleasure to work with. As a younger employee, they have given me many opportunities to learn and grow in whichever direction my interests and passions take me. Coworkers never hesitate to lend a hand and the camaraderie is infectious. I take pride in being an employee here.

The products and services that Fortress offers are great in strategy and are well-intentioned. However, execution remains a challenge within the company. Leadership changes direction quickly and it makes it hard to really focus on accomplishing anything. Most of the employees are really good to work with and leadership can be great, too.

The people that work here are all incredible individuals that are focused on helping companies defend themselves from cybersecurity threats. All of the employees I work with here have a strong “do what’s right for the client” ethos, even if that means recommending a solution that leads to less billable hours for us. That’s a great thing to see in a company.

This company has a very poor vision and upper management that is all about the number of assessments completed.   0 care about quality and 0 care about their employees.  They can not keep good talent more than a few months consistent turn over.  On boarding training process is nonexistent.  

Fortress Information Security is a fun company to work for, it features wonderful people who, as expected in the cybersecurity industry are a little eccentric, but fun to work with.
