Pros

Professional development; Unlimited PTO; talented work force; amazing coworkers; competitive salary for engineers, mostly.

Cons

The finish line is often moved; the benefits that brought me in are eroding; leadership doesn't have a true pulse of the people and culture, nor do they care to hear otherwise; interdepartmental collaboration is pain point.

First and foremost I want to sincerely thank you for taking the time out to provide feedback. It conveys that you care enough and hold out hope that we can “get it right.” To your point about “leadership not having a true pulse of the people and culture”, this feedback puts a point on improvements that me and the rest of the leadership team must buckle down and focus on. I will say since founding the company, one of my core principles has been to create the company and culture that “I” would want and be proud to work for. Having worked for some crummy companies in my past, my highest ambition has been to build a firm that both delighted our customers and took care of its people. So I intend to redouble my efforts to earn back your recommendation and confidence. Admittedly, our fast growth has in many ways stressed our ability to keep up on all fronts. But no excuses. As to the “benefits erosion”, there have been changes but not sure about diminishment of benefits overall. But in 2023 we’ve done extensive benchmarking against similarly situated firms in our industry as we’ve been evaluating whether we move from our PEO to bringing our benefits “in-house.” So yes, there could be changes taking place in 2024, but I would suggest that we’d still offer a comparatively rich set of benefits. Thanks again, Adrian Rich CEO

Pros

One of the biggest advantage is the ability to work fully remote with distributed work in present times. STS is heavy on professional development for my career in terms of trainings, conference summits (Apprenticeship trainings that pivots into fulltime positions and the AWS Summit Washington, DC 2023) and my overall technical journey. Also the bonus compensation is very rewarding as they recognize my hard work and contribution to help create value for our customer and partners. STS company culture here focuses on collaboration, dedication and innovation with my coworkers for example working tech sessions for any blockers and foster any technical challenges. This strengthens STS values and ethics which curates a great reputation both presently and in the future. STS also has a diverse employee network to enable the professional development of varying identity groups, location zone and setting measurable targets of acquiring diverse talent for adequate representation. The business goals in expanding their contractual work space also benefits myself as I attain the contract related certifications on this Journey. Effective communication is carried out from upper management to every employee, for example adopting Slack, Microsoft Outlook and Teams into our daily routine of communication. This is a huge form of transparency.

Cons

I do not have any cons for working here.
