      No Work-Life Balance, Internal Politics

      Pros

      Hard working team, some good colleagues, technically several new skills that I could get exposure to

      Cons

      Too many late-night deployments, even on weekends, no work-life balance, incidents that take up most of the working day. In addition, the recent lay-offs resulted in loss of dedicated folks. Internal politics from people who have been there for some time and so get to throw their weight around. Some of the managers that I currently work with are very unprofessional, lack basic courtesy, use profanity, and are ignorant of professional space. Micro-management from senior management.

      Pros

      At the heart this company tries to show that they care about their employees. It is a friendly and respectful work environment with coworkers that are passionate about their field of work.

      Cons

      Can be a lot of changes off and on, but always in a way to strive to get better for the customers, company, and employees

      Pros

      Flexibility, some great people to work with. I am proud of the job I do so in spite of the long hours I am happy that I have made a difference in my time with Ascend.

      Cons

      I came to Ascend because of the values and the people, I understand that change is a constant but wish that those running the company would remember where we came from and hold on to the values with a little more vigor. I didn't used to mind so much working long hours as the supervisor I reported to rewarded me with good annual increases and bonuses as well as acknowledging jobs well done. Now the excuse is standard increase percentage across the board regardless of your effort and contributions, especially if you are not a member of a department that produces income for Ascend. 80% of the Shared Services group are taken for granted. The longer you work for Ascend the less visible you become. Just come in and do your job- don't voice your opinion. Now I am wondering why I am still there. PTO plan is great if you can take it. That's another problem, no time to take a vacation with no backup for your position.
