Pros

The company fosters a continuous learning culture, providing exceptional on-the-job training and resources to help employees succeed. It's one of the best environments for new engineers to develop their skills and grow professionally.

Cons

Compensation varies by role and experience. Some employees are paid competitively, while others may find they need to leave to reach their full market value. Career advancement can be unclear, making it difficult to see long-term growth within the company The company values diversity and provides opportunities for women and minorities. However, like in many organizations, salary growth can be challenging for some employees, and those seeking significant increases may find better opportunities elsewhere. The high-velocity work environment demands a lot, which can be exhausting over time Senior management sometimes delivers extreme criticism and expects employees to handle it the same way they do Employee engagement in company events has declined, making it less of a social workplace than before

Pros

Simple provides a great work life balance with lots of flexibility with your work schedule. People can work in office or remote. They are constantly presenting new opportunities to learn and achieve certifications to grow in your profession. Extraordinary benefits from health care plans to OKR bonuses to professional certification courses. The company is full of friendly, collaborative people who want their colleagues to succeed. I have been able to learn so much about the industry from people on my team and across other teams with years of valuable experience. Simple puts an emphasis on finding people from diverse backgrounds and cultures to help improve the company dynamic as a whole. The company is constantly trying to open up new paths to revenue, such as in the data engineering and virtual contact center spaces. The Slack platform and frequently scheduled in-person events are great places to meet and interact with people from the company. I have recommended Simple as potential job opportunity to a number of friends looking to work in the software, automation and DevOps spaces.

Cons

Simple may not be the right fit for someone looking for the normal office setting. The fact that most members of the company may leave people wishing for more in-person collaboration and face-to-face interaction, even though this has become more prevalent in the post-COVID pandemic workforce.

It's fantastic to hear about the work-life balance and flexibility offered, including the option for remote work. Your appreciation for the continuous learning opportunities, certification support, and the exceptional benefits package highlights the company's commitment to employee growth and well-being. Recognition of the company's friendly, collaborative culture and its emphasis on diversity and innovation is especially valuable. It's encouraging to know that the team's experience and knowledge have been instrumental in your learning and that STS' efforts in expanding into new areas like data engineering and virtual contact centers are noted. We also appreciate your insights on the potential drawbacks of our flexible work environment, particularly for those who might prefer a more traditional office setting and face-to-face interactions. This feedback is crucial as we strive to balance remote work benefits with the need for in-person collaboration in a post-COVID era. Your recommendation to friends and peers speaks volumes, and we are grateful for your positive view of our company. Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts with both potential employees and us.

Pros

1. Great business model of preferentially hiring from within via their apprenticeship program or in-house employees 2. Flexibility with time and unlimited PTO. 3. Flexibility with work location because more than 70% to 80% of roles are remote. 4. Great turnaround on reimbursements as long as you get it in before the pay period. 5. STS rewards hard work, initiatives, and persistence. So, if you are a lifelong learner and are open to putting in the work, you will be rewarded. 6. STS is valid for supporting career growth for minorities and demography that are economically disadvantaged. 7. Overall, pay and benefits are fine. It all depends on value you can provide.

Cons

1. You need to be a US citizen because they are government subcontractors for most of their roles. Except for some in-house positions at their HQ office in DC, where it may not be needed. 2. With government jobs, there are red tapes one has to deal with. So, you have to be ready for that. 3. With remote jobs, you have to be very disciplined and organized to get things done. No one will be looking over your shoulder or holding your hands for every duty. So, not for everyone. 4. Remote jobs can also be very detached because you don't see people or engage much, but the company tries to correct that by periodically organizing online and live events. 5. STS has a startup feel, so one should expect the growing pains that come with that. 6. More opportunities needed for people transitioning out of the apprenticeship program. All these are not deal breakers for me since I can manage it effectively. Could be for someone else.
