Pluspunten

If you are looking to build a network of extremely talented individuals in the security space in a short period of time, then Halock is the place to do it. Somewhat backwards logic, but, with the alarming rate of attrition (25+ would be more accurate), the only Pro you will get working at Halock is making connections with those that made the regrettable mistake of working for these guys in the first place. As people continue to come and go, your network will only get bigger. And you can expect Halock Alum to go well out of their way to help you leave and work for a real company. There is a saying in IT Security, “A Data Breach… It’s not a matter of If, But When.” There is a saying at Halock, “Quit or Fired… It’s not a matter of If, But When.”

Minpunten

If you stay and stick it out for any length of time hoping that things might change, you will be sadly mistaken. Aside from a horrible work culture, you will very little reward for all of your efforts -monetarily or even simple acknowledgement.

Pluspunten

• The consultants are outstanding — smart, collaborative, and genuinely dedicated to clients. • Exposure to strong cybersecurity and compliance projects.

Minpunten

Once you’re exposed to leadership, the experience shifts from rewarding to miserable. They keep “yes” people who protect egos instead of those who do quality work. • Leadership systematically removed women and anyone who questioned decisions. Those who spoke up were marginalized or pushed out. • The few women left are mainly in back-office roles with little client exposure — a telling reflection of misplaced priorities. • There’s zero trust in the consultants actually building client relationships and delivering results. Leadership obsesses over control and appearances instead of performance and outcomes. • Sales and marketing have added little measurable value, yet consultants carry the company’s reputation while others take credit. • “Budget” layoffs are reframed as “performance” issues even after confirming otherwise — pure manipulation. • Management hides behind the EOS framework but cherry-picks only what benefits them. Offer an idea or improvement, and you risk public reprimand — that’s not EOS; that’s intimidation. • Fear-based management continues: if bonuses are too high, they quietly move the goalposts. Consultants are micromanaged and even belittled on client calls. • Constructive feedback isn’t valued; it’s punished.
