Pros

Newly remodeled offices and keep coffee stocked

Cons

bad culture, bad executive team and directors, fire people at will so the executives and higher ups can keep high salaries and bonuses. This is supposed to be a non-profit company but its all about how much money we can make the company or your laid-off. Company just does not care about employees. They lay-off a lot!

IBTS puts mission over margin and since its founding more than 20 years ago all levels of employees have benefited from industry or higher wages and bonuses, including across-the-board Holiday bonuses. A shift in strategic focus to certain business segments and away from others, means that where we are unable to utilize the skillsets of employees that cannot be engaged in other IBTS business units, we unfortunately have to make adjustments to staffing levels, just as any prudent business would do (whether for profit or non-profit).

Overall a great place to work!

Pros

IBTS is a unique place to work here in Ashburn. So far, my experience with IBTS has been a positive one; I've been given the opportunity to develop my own career goals and strive to meet them. I've been offered training and development opportunities, and continually get to work on challenging/fun projects. Our benefits are excellent and the company has also recently been promoting wellness through different company-sponsored activities, which is a nice perk. We also have had opportunities for volunteer work in recent years. The people here are great to work with too. All in all, IBTS is a pretty great place to be!

Cons

No company is perfect. Same goes for IBTS- while there are changes that could be made but I think quite a few of the challenges the organization faces is because of recent rapid growth. There's also some resistance to working from home, which is something that I wish would change.

Thank you for your input! Our senior management is currently working on developing a more formalized telecommute policy in order to create a more flexible work environment for our employees. Change is needed for any organization to succeed and our refreshed management team plans to bring several new improvements to IBTS's procedures soon.
