Pros

- Fantastic coworkers that really make the work environment much more pleasant. - Decent benefits. - Free hot lunch on-site -- not bad, but typical cafeteria food.

Cons

- Poor management - Low team morale - "Boys' club" mentality - No pay raises or bonuses - Some serious problems go unaddressed by HR, especially regarding higher-ranking team members. - Aging team members -- although they are experienced in their job duties, they've become stubborn and their skillset has not developed with the times

Pros

The data center work itself was interesting and there were opportunities to gain exposure to large-scale projects. Some coworkers on-site were supportive and hardworking.

Cons

Leadership and communication were extremely inconsistent. There was little structure, minimal training, and employees often felt like they were expected to figure things out on their own without proper support or mentorship. Workloads and expectations changed constantly depending on who you spoke to. The company talks about growth, but many employees are underutilized or not actually developed professionally. It often felt more reactive than organized, especially from upper management. Decisions were made with very little transparency, and morale suffered because of it. There was also a noticeable disconnect between corporate leadership and the realities of what was happening on-site. Many employees felt expendable rather than valued.
