The people go the extra mile and recognize the difficulties they all must work with (or around).

No Work-Life Balance, Internal Politics

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
