Pros

The company has had some negative reviews, rightfully so. However, those responsible for causing the negative review, are no longer here. They have since offered paid bonuses for documentation to catch up, a certification program to earn up to $5k yearly for completing certs, and opportunities are here for training, where they were not before. Aside from that, the dress code is more on the side of casual of business casual. If that isn't enough, we have regular Nerf wars, with the opportunity of shooting down the drones flown by the sales guys, as well as two types of beer on tap. Where else could this happen?

Cons

Ya still have to work...

Pros

The people are some of the best and like family. We care a lot about our teams and our customers. There are good leaders here but it has just become too hard for us to lead the way they want to.

Cons

Executive Leadership, especially the CEO. The culture has changed a lot since he replaced the former CEO. He does not operate with the same values that have been a part of the company ever since I got here. He rules by fear, control, micromanagement, and is unapproachable. You can see it in meetings with the business and even in our Company meetings. It is uncomfortable. He has started only bringing people in from his former network and they are bringing in their friends. Everything is India focused and North America people are losing their jobs and those that are left are burned out from the excessive workload. We are watching good employees leave either on their own or because they are forced out. The optics of who is leaving and why are not good. I want this to work but it feels like a sinking ship at this point. Our customers aren't even happy with us anymore and that makes our jobs even harder.
