Ares is filled with people who cannot lead and are only concerned with growing their own empires. Culture is toxic, full of politics, passive aggressiveness and almost no accountability. Middle management is full of mediocre technical people with no demonstrated ability to manage people. Senior IT management hasn’t demonstrated any ability deliver a strategy or resolve any of the ever-plaguing organizational problems. They just run from one buzz word to the next and micromanage you when someone “important” complains. This leads to long nights, excess stress and no appreciation for the work you do.. except an obligatory $100 gift card after you've worked 4 weekends in a row.
Emotional Intelligence is completely lacking.
If you love wasting all your time in pointless meetings and being told what to do by people who have no clue what they are doing, usually at the last minute so you have to work late nights and weekends, then Ares is right for you. If you are a competent individual who enjoys being respected, then absolutely stay away.
