Pros

Working from home. Immediate supervisor was a great supervisor who knew how to lead his team in a time of overloaded work load.

Cons

1) Senior/Upper Management intentionally names positions so that they can remain well below market value on paying you for what you do. I am easily making 1/4 - 1/2 more money for what I did at Flexential. 2) Benefits are terminated the date of your last day. Senior/Upper Management is so worried about their pocket books they don't even finish out paying the rest of the month. I have left at least 10 different jobs and not a single one of them has ever terminated benefits the day of your last day. They have ALL finished out the month. 3) COVID gave Senior/Upper Management an excuse to not back fill positions. Even though when COVID first hit there was an influx of work required to assisting their customers with working from home strategies. Now with the economy coming back online they REFUSE to refill those positions and more working is coming in again. So less staff and 2-3 times the work loads. Yet demand to satisfy customer is still supposed to be number 1 priority. Those three things above should tell you that Senior/Upper Management does not care about their employee's, their employee's health and safety, nothing. I would say I feel chewed up and spit but that is putting it lightly. I would say I feel chewed up, consumed(they got energy from me and plenty of benefits), they punch their stomach a couple times, then vomited into a pile of acid, they gather their friends then pointed at their employee's trying to get out and they laugh at them.

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.
