Equus Compute Solutions reviews

Where do I start? I got two raises in less than a year, was on my way towards a promotion and blindsided by management after the company asked me to come forward with any improvement ideas. After submitting a report outlining some very serious vulnerabilities within the company everything looked over, I was told thanks for the data, everything was patched and I was promptly terminated, the official reason: Not a good fit. After working there for a full year, with two raises. They wanted me to sign a Severance agreement for an insulting 4 weeks worth of pay that would bar me from ever trying to sue them, as well as not discussing my employment term. I of course did not sign the agreement despite losing health coverage and the many financial challenges as unemployment takes time to process. My very pregnant wife was able to sign up and qualified for medical, thank God but this company used the classic "At will" argument to get rid of me because someone in upper management probably got a little embarrassed. I don't see this company succeeding as long as they operate in the manner they continue to operate in. During my employment the company at one point sold me used internal equipment and didn't bother following protocol to make sure one of the laptops was reformatted. I wonder if I should mention to their clients about the carelessness of Equus's policies that allowed their private information to escape their facility. Do not go into this company with the mentality you have to do something wrong for them to get rid of you, in California they do not need a valid reason. I currently have a lawyer reviewing an offline archive of my work email, since apparently their security department doesn't wipe and sync corporate inboxes.

No chance of growth. You will intentionally be kept at your position/title while going beyond it -- even to the point of borderline wage slavery. Management will treat you as if you are beneath them, albeit lacking any real knowledge or leadership. No real SOPs and any documentation is usually highly inaccurate. You will typically pick up the slack/mistakes of multiple departments in the company while being highly undervalued. Communication between departments is horrid since everyone is pretty much conditioned into thinking only for themselves. Unrealistic deadlines and many lies that tangle within the culture of fear. Management uses bait and switch tactics with also passive aggression. If you are not liked by management you WILL be subjected to sabotage. In the end you will only get a 3% raise no matter what you contribute and line the pockets of the higher ups. Management will ignore your requests for resources to do your job. Bleak.
