Pros

There are good people working here, but that doesn’t pay the bills

Cons

SHI leads new hires to believe they will have career growth opportunities within the company. This is false. After years of working here, the only positions available to me are lateral or backward moves with equal or less pay and no prospects to advance. HR spends half their time gatekeeping employees from applying to internal roles (blocking applications from hiring managers), and the rest of it refusing to offer support to people who need it. I know an employee who, due to a severe medical condition, was requested by his doctor to be allowed to work remotely, and went through the lengthy process of getting approval from SHI’s insurance company. HR refused to honor the request, offering no assistance or support.

Pros

Great place to work for especially for those in information technology looking to learn more from software and hardware vendors. The meet and greets + lunch and learns help you learn more about the products and services they provide.

Cons

None, I’ve had a positive experience with them!

Pros

Work from home, paid for career development trainings/certifications, and depending on your role, flexible hours

Cons

-Management/Senior Leadership teams are very disorganized and often change processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult to get promoted -SHI loves automating everything they can, so a lot of times, work ends up feeling very tedious and repetitive -Day to day work very often includes tedious process approvals from management, slowing down pace of work with no real feedback given during the approval process -Met a lot of people who were great, but met far more who are toxic -Everything feels escalated even if the “issue” is manageable -EXTREMELY micromanaged
