      It's a very big company

      22 Mar 2023 - IT Networking Engineer in Tampa, FL
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company spends money on hardware and software that we need and there's not too much interference. There's a fairly relaxed schedule and day-to-day it's pretty chill. Teams seem to vary quite a bit in workload and quality.

      Cons

      It's a big company. Doing anything takes a long time. Many teams that are required to do your job... just don't do theirs. With no recourse. That leads to an environment where there's a lot of egos and political nonsense. Every email feels like it has 400 recipients too many, and it only takes one disagreement to derail anything if you aren't a VP. Frustrating if you're ambitious, but it's a great place to get a paycheck in the meantime.

      Finally Some Stabilization

      22 Mar 2023 - Director 
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      After years of buying too many companies for the sake of growth alone, management is finally taking a step back and allowing time for stabilization. System migration timelines are being evaluated with a dose of reality, rather than sticking to hard dates and dealing with the fallout later.

      Cons

      "Better, Faster, Cheaper" mindset is still prevalent and management has little say in removing consistent underperformers.
