Pros

The company culture is great. Even with an office with more than 100 people, it was very easy to make friends and get to know each other day to day and at company events. Most everyone at FPI is kind and helpful and has a great time with one another, really feels like a family. Compensation and benefits are above average for the area in most respects and work/life balance is good. Overtime is not nearly as required compared to other IT shops. Leadership is very motivated and has great ideas.

Cons

As an IT shop, remote work is lacking. The infrastructure is in place to support it but there are few work from home opportunities depending on your department/role. There are more projects and work than there are staff in a lot of cases. Projects are great and move the company forward but FPI may be biting off more than they can chew and causing some burnout with employees who have been there a while. Hard to move up career wise. Openings seem to only come up if someone else leaves, and even then FPI has many contractors to fill the void. While they come off as investing a lot in their employees professional growth, solid training is only available for certain roles.

Thanks for the review. Yes, we are busy and trying to be mindful of making sure employees have the resources to be successful. We are investing in lots of employee development, especially in technologies like SalesForce and Azure. Not sure what department you were in, but our goal is for all employees to have opportunities to grow their careers. Best of luck, Howard

Pros

Everyone was very nice and outgoing great environment to work in and learn in. I Would go back the company had many fun events and I felt at home within the first week of being there.

Cons

The timing was unfortunate because they got a new manager on the same day I started so he didn't know how to guide me at first because he had started the same day I did.

Pros

Lot of good people working there when I was there. The folks who have been there the longest on the technical side are phenomenal and so supportive and patient.

Cons

The culture was very stressful. Everything was always an emergency. Developers were expected to do everyone's job and then of course also blamed for anything that went wrong. When I was there, the on call expectations were insane. From day one they made it clear that the expectation is that you will work way more than 40 hours/week (when there's an emergency! which was always) and not be paid well for it.
