Pros

The overall company culture and vibe is young and energetic. SHI has experienced tremendous business growth in the past 2 and half years which I had worked at the company for. They offer good benefits, opportunities to move to different departments within the company, and to make a good wage if you are working under the right team. This is a good place to start an entry-level position, just to gain some experience.

Cons

Mid and upper management have no idea how to communicate nor properly lead projects and initiatives; it is the blind leading the blind at SHI. Enormous expectations are assigned to both individuals and teams with no real direction or incentive to complete them. There is a very political climate when it comes to promotions, with senior management promoting and creating new titles for whomever they personally like, rather than choosing who is actually best qualified for a position. Seniority at the company also factors heavily when it comes to favoritism.

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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
