Pros

Management was transparent about how they would treat the Cbeyond employees, making it easy to determine quickly that it was time to get the hell out.

Cons

Company spent no time trying to understand what they had acquired; assumed they knew best what they were doing and couldn't possibly learn anything from anyone there. Backwards from a technology perspective (likely don't even know about this site, or don't think potential hires use this new-fangled "inter-web"). Focused on cheap, and answering the phone quickly (not resolving issues quickly - would rather answer in 20 seconds, take call notes, and have someone else resolve the ticket later).

Pros

There is an excellent work/life balance with more PTO/paid holidays than I have had at previous companies. My supervisor and team are very easy to work with, are understanding, and are great to bounce ideas off each other. Very positive work environment, where everyone pulls their weight. The executives are real people who can be emailed with questions, concerns and who are just generally “present” and not people the employees never see or don’t have access to reach. Goals for the company are made transparent. We have a quarterly town hall meeting where the CEO summarizes the ups and downs of the last quarter and keeps us up to date on where we are as far as reaching our goals. Birch promotes from within, as I have seen numerous employees get promoted. It seems like there have been monthly team building exercises/fun events such as a carnival in the fall, customer service week with lunch for the entire company provided, a buffet of desserts before the Christmas holidays, potlucks for any/every holiday, and various breakfasts and lunches provided. Love that Birch has recycling containers throughout the building!

Cons

There is a small cafe that serves breakfast and lunch, but the food is not the best and the selection is limited. I would recommend bringing your own breakfast/lunch/snacks! Office supplies are limited and I have brought several things from home.
