Pros

Great work life balance, great PTO, okay 401k, pretty good insurance, nice partner discounts. Great place to get exposure to routing, switching, firewalls, and load balancers quickly.

Cons

Employment is being pushed offshore (management will use right shoring) to Mexico City and India. No raises for anyone outside of Mexico City and India. Fired a significant amount of employees over the past 9 months but for some reason it hasn't made it to the public but recruiters are aware of this. No backfills in the US, UK, or AU unless it's critical. Losing senior talent left and right. The loss of talent is so bad that they are asking people that were let go on a delayed schedule to fill positions that are now open because other senior talent has left. Average pay is about 15-20% below market average and unless you are business critical, even then maybe not, you shouldn't expect any sort of raise or even cost of living adjustment.

Pros

- pto / vto is available. - 401k

Cons

- pto / vto can only be taken when your not working the call center phone queues. - no senior benefits (benefits that were *promised*, pulled out from under the techs) and replaced by a point system run by a 3rd party storefront. I watched as $1000.00 10year bonuses were replaced by a mere handful of these points. Literally turning employee rewards back over to the company itself. - lack of promotion cycles for more than a year. - lack of training. Absolutely none to speak of _for half a decade_! As an ex-senior tech this is Disgraceful. It was a floor rumor that they were intentionally not training us to ensure we could not be picked up by competitors. - training that was 'available' to us was quickly filled with account managers and other non-tech personnel making VERY few slots available to real techs that required the training. - with all of the various meaningless KPIs meant to make our job make sense to leadership, it made it impossible to just do a fanatical job for our customers which is what we all wanted in the long run.

Pros

They will pay for training and certification exams. You will get a lot of time off. They are desperate for talent maybe you can negotiate a nice salary… but probably not.

Cons

This place is in the race to the bottom. Save yourself the embarrassment. Management is truly clueless. I haven’t read a negative review on here that I did not agree with. Run away!
