Pros

- The people: many people stay because they like the people they work with - Free Lunches ( pretty much the only perk ) - Fairly nice gym in the facility with personal trainer - Have the opportunity to really make a lot of money

Cons

- "Big boy club" is a real thing here. You have to know corporate politics here really early if you want to get into leadership. Voice your opinion to the wrong person, have fun being a sales rep your whole career there. - No appearance from the CEO. You'll see her at sales conference do a round table, but you hardly see a email from her, or see her around the office. She's brilliant but her sales/culture style is very out dated. - Leadership gets very drunk at outings. It's embarrassing. - First 3 months pay is a joke. Most companies offer your full OTE until you are given a real quota. At SHI you get 30K base and 250 dollars on top of that. That's just gross considering living in Austin, TX.

Pros

Manager is very hands-off and trusts you to get your work done as long as your metrics look good. Overall good work culture - good work/life balance. Low stress work which can be nice if you’re okay with, what’s for the most part, a fairly repetitive/uninspiring variety of work (I personally like this but realize it’s not for everyone). Very friendly co-workers. Plenty of chances to prove yourself & work your way up the ladder if that’s something you care about.

Cons

Heavy focus on questionable metrics, especially in this current era of measuring AI usage. Repetitive/uninspiring work that can start to feel boring if you’re wanting something more interesting

Pros

Work from home, paid for career development trainings/certifications, and depending on your role, flexible hours

Cons

-Management/Senior Leadership teams are very disorganized and often change processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult to get promoted -SHI loves automating everything they can, so a lot of times, work ends up feeling very tedious and repetitive -Day to day work very often includes tedious process approvals from management, slowing down pace of work with no real feedback given during the approval process -Met a lot of people who were great, but met far more who are toxic -Everything feels escalated even if the “issue” is manageable -EXTREMELY micromanaged
