Pros

IBTS is a unique place to work here in Ashburn. So far, my experience with IBTS has been a positive one; I've been given the opportunity to develop my own career goals and strive to meet them. I've been offered training and development opportunities, and continually get to work on challenging/fun projects. Our benefits are excellent and the company has also recently been promoting wellness through different company-sponsored activities, which is a nice perk. We also have had opportunities for volunteer work in recent years. The people here are great to work with too. All in all, IBTS is a pretty great place to be!

Cons

No company is perfect. Same goes for IBTS- while there are changes that could be made but I think quite a few of the challenges the organization faces is because of recent rapid growth. There's also some resistance to working from home, which is something that I wish would change.

Thank you for your input! Our senior management is currently working on developing a more formalized telecommute policy in order to create a more flexible work environment for our employees. Change is needed for any organization to succeed and our refreshed management team plans to bring several new improvements to IBTS's procedures soon.

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.
