Pros

Over the past two years, the company has greatly invested in its people and improved their benefits. I read over some of the other reviews and will admit I am confused as to what the individual is talking about when they say the benefits got worse. Last year during open enrollment, they added all kinds of new plans, enhanced the plans and made them better. They also decreased the amount employees pay for their families and kids and this year the company took on more costs even though the cost was supposed to go up. I have had a lot of opportunities to develop - from courses offered onsite through outside specialists or the opportunity to go and get a certificate. I find the management to be very supportive of my career development and have seen the HR team has grown as the investment in its people programs has as well.

Cons

All companies have their growing pains. The company has doubled in size over the past couple of years and has processes to develop and systems to enhance as a result. Nothing atypical.

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.
