Pros

Sense of community amongst entry level employees. Experience- you may or may not be trained well but the company works as a place to get your foot in the door if you are looking to enter a new field. Lower management mostly seems to care about their employees and does their best to promote team building.

Cons

LOW pay across the board- completely non-competitive. You will work 40hrs a week in a 9-5 style corporate professional job and not be paid enough to afford basic living expenses- forget about saving for that nice vacation or retirement. Lack of communication between teams and differing work philosophies between departments creates daily difficulties coordinating to get basic tasks done, and causes issues for larger projects. Probably a complaint not unique to SHI, but upper management genuinely seems to place little to no value in the opinions and experiences of those beneath them. Everything is about the bottom line, any profit from company success is not shared with the lower level workers who made it happen.

Pros

Great place to work for especially for those in information technology looking to learn more from software and hardware vendors. The meet and greets + lunch and learns help you learn more about the products and services they provide.

Cons

None, I’ve had a positive experience with them!

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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