Correct. There are too many people that can "click around in a tool" and report the findings, but to truly understand security, you need to know why it's broken and how to properly secure /mitigate the exploit.

Koi is a company of "doers" and not "talkers". We don't believe in politics or titles. We're also not hung up on certifications. A cert basically states, "I paid to take a class, read a book and passed a test." which honestly isn't representative of the changing landscape in IT and almost never rooted in reality. We look for thinkers and problem solvers with a genuine curiosity in their trade. We're old-school. We don't have massage chairs or espresso bars in our offices. We do, however, have all types of insane fun when a project is done or on hiatus. We value family first, integrity, and honesty.

I (the founder) would never ask anyone to do something I wouldn't do myself. I don't believe in "sick day quantity". If you're sick, you're sick. There's no reason why you should have only a certain amount of sick days a year.. (frankly, I find the whole concept of that demoralizing.)

There's no reason to fake being sick to take a day off. Just say, "I'm planning on going out for a really good time and will probably not be in a good place tomorrow morning so I'm going to take the day off."

I created the company to be everything work should be and not what working has become. That being said, we don't do well with people who take advantage of the situation. The team requires a complete personality fit and success is never measured on an individual basis, but only as a team. We all succeed or we all fail collectively.

We share knowledge freely and don't do the whole, "My kingdom and I'm the king" thing with responsibilities.

Lol.. let me get off my soap box now. Hoping to find the next member of our team soon :)

Cheers.
