Pros

Pay was OK. Seeing some promising results with an improved and more focused product offering through technologies obtained with recent acquisitions.

Cons

Highly unprofessional management where you have to deal with yelling and shouting on a daily basis. You can't trust the HR department, anything you tell them in confidence will reach the VP. Complete lack of an overall strategy. High employee turnover rate and seagull management style with a constant change of VP's and CEO's. The product division's business model reselling OEM products is not sustainable. The stock price is probably representative of where this company is heading. Benefits used to be great, but after cutting insurance and 401K matching there is nothing left.

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.
