Pros

Ability to work remotely, excellent compensation, sustainable work environment, great communication from co-workers all the way up to management and beyond. Summer BBQ, holiday party, and other celebrations make this a top workplace.

Cons

On site parking and road construction make going to work stressful. Adjusting to changing server hardware will be an ongoing challenge.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We appreciate hearing your positive comments about our friendly work environment, great benefits, and continuous career development, as these are areas of increased focus to showcase our commitment to employee growth and well-being. We also appreciate your comments about meeting frequency, camera expectations, and our shift away from fully remote work. While we continue to offer flexible, hybrid, and remote work options to a majority of our employees at all office locations (as approved by a manager), we also recognize that face-to-face communication and connectiveness are important parts of our company values. These interactions help strengthen collaboration, support our teams, and ensure we’re providing the best experience for our customers. The privilege to work remotely is and will remain dependent on the needs of our customers balanced with the needs of our employees and internal teams. We would like the opportunity to hear more about your experience. If you are willing to share, please contact us directly at HRmail@wnins.com.

Pros

There are really great teams to work on and enjoyable coworkers. Independent decision making. Pay is slightly below average, but benefits are great. Profit share bonus. Good CEO. Departments very much encourage hiring within and lateral transitions to different areas of the company.

Cons

Your team members may be great, but a difficult manager dampens the day to day experience. Pay could be higher.
