Pros

Was once a reputable datacenter company. Unlimited PTO if your in a department that you can use it (Sales, Professional Services, Management). Some work from home opportunities. You might have a shot at advancing quick due to all the people that built the company leaving. If you're joining sales you might make some good money but you'll have a terrible product to sell and little support. I'm having trouble thinking of any more.

Cons

I'm not kidding when I say moral at this company has gone down the tube. Terrible benefits for a company of its size when they used to be awesome. They like to disguise terrible events, changes, and culture in good words and show repeat signs of neglect towards employees. Just search linkedin for anyone that worked there. You'll see many have left recently. Most that have stayed have retention bonuses or terrible stock options that need to vest. Most of all, its terrible watching a company you watched go through so many acquisitions, finally plop over and prioritize dollars over employee happiness, and have anyone talented walk out the door. HR is pretty much there to deflect issues as long as possible so they can either pull a Toys R Us bankruptcy after the investors pull out all the money or the company goes public eventually. Promotions and raises were promised over the last year and many were disappointed with low or no raises. They have fired off many roles just to improve the bottom dollar. Most of the east coast teams are more about power and politics then knowing what they're doing.

Pros

Flexibility with work life balance Really talented and fun coworkers. Direct upper management great with helping pursue your goals and gathering everyone together to make your job feel like you are in fact a part of a team. This made work enjoyable even when aggravated by other things.

Cons

Compensation and recognition don't match performance. Despite consistent 5-star reviews and going above-and-beyond (taking on extra projects beyond my pay grade), raises were minimal (e.g., 0.9% after a strong first year) and promotions were seemingly gifted on favoritism over performance. Higher leadership (SVPs/L1s) showed limited follow-through on innovative internal projects—e.g., we built data solutions that outperformed enterprise third-party solutions, but they were shelved with only vague "good job" responses and no real investment. L1 attempted to enforce a new corporate policy of flexwork on people living nearly 75 miles away from the nearest corporate satellite office to show. My employment contract did not state I needed to be hybrid yet they enforced it on me even when I didn't have a car and my nearest team member was 3 states over. Policy was dropped after 6 or so months. As a PE-owned company, resources seem heavily directed toward infrastructure expansion (new data centers) rather than employee rewards or reinvestment in existing systems. This leads to frustration when teams outperform but see little financial upside. DCIM and data infrastructure feel under-resourced—limited data engineers, poor visibility into key datasets, infrequent health checks, and surveillance gaps create risks for outages and long-term reliability.
