Business Outlook

Pros

You can make money if you don't question for improvement, just go to work do something and get your paycheck. No scope unless you can do some 'favors' to your manager. Safe place to work if you don't care to grow.

Cons

Lot of self focused managers in Infrastructure worth nothing when they go out. All they do is make money and do a shitty job. If you don't know how to 'favor' your manager but want a career growth stay away from this company. The worst part is you will see a lot of lip service, nothing in reality

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay and good benefits.

Cons

- Clients are prioritized way over employees. - Employees are seen as expendable. - High-performing employees were fired for no cause being told their positions were eliminated, only for those positions to be retitled and rehired immediately thereafter. - Limited to no opportunities for advancement. - Management prefers to hire from outside rather than promote from within. - Experienced blatant retaliation by senior management after filing HR complaint. When HR was notified, they did nothing about it.
