Pros

Three quarters of the people I worked with were nice and company paid for 100% of employee healthcare (0% of family though). Work usually stops when you leave the building, which is nice but they do have an on-call schedule.

Cons

They built a nice, small culture and then let it fall apart. People who can't manage others successfully have been at the company for 10+ years and "not my job" is a frequent phrase in a place where they "value teamwork and communication"? The Sales dept frequently oversold customers, even when nobody in the building worked with a specific technology. The pay is below average and even if you kick butt, don't expect more than a 3% raise until you give your 2 weeks notice. There is no such thing as "cost of living adjustments" here.

Pros

So many smart people with lots of experience. Friendly atmosphere, family oriented.

Cons

Work levels can sometimes be a little overwhelming and the "old guard" can be resistant to change.

Pros

Working with several different business sectors so you get exposure to a lot of different technology needs. Helpdesk techs are mostly good to work with.

Cons

Management only cares about metrics, they prioritize this over employee wellbeing. They will do anything for the customer, even if it costs them in money or employee health. Many of the L1 techs seem very inexperienced and despite repeated training, will still violate SOPs or skip basic troubleshooting expected of them. Management is hostile, some middle managers seem to take pride in punishing employees for violating procedure and present expectations in a threatening way. Helpdesk techs have been threatened with being fired on multiple occasions and on large meetings. Upper management laid off several helpdesk techs, which put a strain on the rest of us, and then started hiring new techs at a lower pay.
