Pros

There are some great people at this company who put in hard work at all hours to get the job done. It's just a shame that they are so under appreciated.

Cons

Many projects have ended, which caused the company to let people go and pile more work on top of their already overworked staff. This caused many people to find other opportunities and instead of hiring replacements, IBTS continues to pile on the work of two, three, four people on top of one person with no additional pay. Then management sends out emails saying that they're removing a floating holiday from employees to save money, but that they should be happy because they had considered reducing their health care benefits. Oh wow, TOO KIND! Benefits are okay (though not if they continue to remove them as a cost-saving method), but there is no semblance of a culture or sense of community at IBTS. Everyone is just waiting to find their next job. If being overworked and underpaid wasn't enough, though, the executive team is one of the worst I've ever seen. Verbally abusive to its staff. Unappreciative. Harassment cases galore. And then they wonder why anyone would leave. Hmm...

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.
