Pros

IBTS has actually has been able to recruit solid professionals in the past couple of years, however, they cannot retain anyone with real talent. Generally, the workforce is intelligent and nice. Some directors and managers are good and try to improve the culture, but the senior management is another story, unfortunately. IBTS provides a mish-mash of professional services and is trying to become a top company, but the founders will ensure failure unfortunately. If you're lucky, you can work on interesting projects. They are lucky to have won the contracts they have.

Cons

The top two executives (mayor and vice-mayor of crazy town) are downright unstable. No professionalism - must completely control every aspect of everything. When they're not literally screaming and fighting with each other, they are screaming at and blaming their staff for every problem, with no HR check on their tempers. They believe they are superior managers, but they don't have a clue. Their professional skills are non-existent and their manners are horrible. They do way more to damage the culture of the organization than any disgruntled employee could. No ethics, no civilized behavior, no basic talents. They run their business by the seat of their pants, and there's no telling what the books look like! People are unhappy but stay because they have to have their jobs. Their clients are not fans!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the opportunity to work on a variety of projects and that you noted we are a great company. We understand your concern regarding the closure of our Texas office in early 2021. This decision was not made lightly and we made every effort to place staff in other positions, including remote ones, and to provide additional transitional support. We want to thank you for your contributions to the important work we did in Texas following Hurricane Harvey. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continuously seek to improve and support our team members. If you have any further concerns or suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our HR department directly. Thank you again for the feedback and for being part of our team.

Pros

Got to steps on everyones toes and learn loads of I.T. for my career, did upset alot of people on the way. Staff were welcoming and friendly. I worked here back in 2016-2019. FYI I have kept up with IBTS over the year and this review is still accurate about management.

Cons

Leadership views I.T. as a financial burden and does not understand how I.T. enables the organization. I.T. leadership fails to communicate with IBTS leadership. Everyone suffers due to this reason. During my tenure company was adapting to pay I.T. reasonable salaries instead of severely underpaid salaries. Due to this the drama was much worse between employees than it needed to be.
