Unsustainable

Pros

PTO (5 weeks vacation) Competitive 401K match Fully remote The tax side of the company seems like they have a healthy culture and they seem very capable

Cons

The work culture, specifically on the tech MSP side of things, is completely unsustainable. We were told for over a year that a formalized change management procedure would be implemented and it never was. The project side of tech would regularly make changes in production without notifying the support/break-fix side in advance, creating unnecessary work and headaches. On top of that, there is very little accountability. They have data but do not seem to use it to make any decisions. Repeat tickets for the same type of issue were the norm instead of the exception. The manager would brag about how few days off he took during the year. Everyone was constantly stressed out. At one point, each of the 5 Level 2 technicians on the break-fix team had over 100 tickets in each of their individual queues. It seems like there are too many managers, creating a lot of management overhead. Also, the minimum requirement was to work 45 hour weeks (which calculated out for the year, pays for the 5 weeks of PTO given).

Unexpected Layoff

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Great experience working with teammates. Remote first environment. Good time off.

Cons

After Bain Capital became shareholders, the company began trimming a lot of fat. Layoffs began at the US Management level. Seemed like a good company at first, but it turned out they only care about profits over people.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. We often hear positive feedback about our great people and flexible work environment, and we’re glad you agree. We appreciate that you've taken the time to share your personal views. However, we want to be clear that Bain Capital has a minority stake in our business, to help fund our acquisitive growth strategy. The company has not been going through layoffs of any kind. Sometimes, a role is simply not fit and, in parts of our business where client engagements are staffed by project, we from time to time have to restructure teams around engagement cycles. Thank you again for your feedback and we wish you the best in your future endeavors.
