Great place until the work dries up. Just did big layoff.

Engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent supporting staff to turn to Benefits are solid if you choose the highest plan Management seems a little discombobulated Friendly work environment Family friendly unless you have too many consecutive interruptions with someone else's request NJ requires 3 days in office while Atlanta only 1 which is good Excellent training opportunities so take advantage

Cons

Sometimes fail to use you for your best qualities on projects and issues and instead silo you into the same work over and over. No actual sick policy No 401k Only 10 vacation days that are frowned upon being used in advance even if they don't object. For all work over 40hrs they'll tell you it'll balance out when you need to miss brief time for doctors etc but they still dock you. Just executed a "workforce reduction" in Q4 2016 and let go of some really good techs while leaving some others that were only average. I guess it's about money but it was handled horribly. We are all still concerned. When the sales and project pipeline dries up, be worried!! If you're one of the newer workers, expect to be laid off. End of year purge of employees due to slow period seems common. If any Cheif officer flies into town, I'd be very concerned for layoffs

Business Outlook

Pros

Constantly working with cutting edge technology. Working with various customers on a number of different projects so it's not the same thing day in and day out. Every day you're challenged (in a good way) to expand your knowledge and skills. Given the ability to learn any technology without roadblocks.

Cons

Extremely fast paced environment, which could be a con for some.

Snazzy place to work

Senior technical architect

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The technical folks are sharp, energetic, and looking to innovate every facet of the data center. Management is largely hands-off and organized in a flat structure. Office is open (no cube farms) regardless of your title and position, with most folks opting to work from home or remotely. MBOs are fair and achievable with a good mix of personal and team goals. Most benefits are 100% covered for individual with fair rates for families. Executive team actually gives a hoot about you, the team, and the company - approachable and available to chat.

Cons

Largely distributed workforce means a good dose of personal discipline is required to stay organized, motivated, and on task; if you prefer to have a static workday structure, this isn't a good fit. Most positions are required to travel throughout the Midwest or continental US at around 25% (varies with role).
