Pros

The technical delivery of services is under-pinned by comprehensive processes which align well to ITIL and ISO standards. Focus on continual service improvement is also good as is the new business take on process. All technical processes have matured well over the past 5 years and no doubt will continue to be refined going forward. At the "Coal Face" there is good collaboration between teams and a "get it done" attitude can be found in most parts of the organisation although this may well be done to the "more for less" attitude that also exists (see Cons) Depending on the accounts you work on you will find good management support, good collaboration, and good team work with a "one team" mentality. Good level of management support, at least at direct manager level, above that the support soon disappears.

Cons

Lack of flexibility in terms of working location. Roles which can be performed from any location are still required to attend the main office and sit at a desk regardless. Poor remuneration, and a clear imbalance in pay within teams and cross the board. Cases where people who have responsibility are paid less than those who simply turn up, tick the box, and go home. Very Sales orientated. It would seem that only the Sales teams are valued by upper management. Silly email comms from the CEO. Seriously no one cares that you've played more golf, or been to an expensive restaurant. Some would consider this insulting considering the poor salaries. Workloads can be shocking. Resourcing issues can result in overloading on existing employees.

Pros

Great location, great co workers, great leadership

Cons

Can be a bit too sales focused and forget that other departments are just as important. Lots of perks for sales that are not availbale to anyone else in the company

Pros

Pay and job title are crazy nice

Cons

This place is less data center more fulfillment center style. Walk in and are told to just copy that rack. No training. Then if you make a mistake they get mad even though nothing was explained.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for highlighting both the positives and the areas where we can improve. We’re pleased to hear that you value the pay and job title, but it’s disappointing to read that your experience with training and support has not met expectations. Starting in a new environment without clear guidance can be challenging, particularly in a technical role where structure and consistency are important. Your comments around the need for more effective onboarding, clearer instruction, and better support are important. We recognise that learning by observation alone is not sufficient for everyone, and creating an environment where people feel confident and set up for success is a key part of being a place where people matter. We also take seriously your point about how mistakes are handled. A supportive culture should ensure that people are guided constructively, especially while they are still learning. Thank you again for your honest feedback, which helps us continue improving the experience we provide
