Pros

Opportunity to work with a team that is close-knit; work with many technologies, opportunities both customer-facing and/or internal only, gain "global" experience by working with employees all over the world and learn different cultures, good benefits, be part of a company that develops products from essentially the ground floor.

Cons

U.S based employee loyalty has fallen greatly since the company went private (bought by another company). Jobs are routinely moved overseas for cost-cutting benefits. Company's direction has become less known to employees and possibly even by executives.

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.
