Pros

Nice people for the most part that seem to care about the company and each other. Lots of initiatives underway to make the company better. It's a good industry to be in because of cloud technologies. Company recently purchased so there could be good things coming if new management is put in place. Compensation is good in some disciplines but not at lower levels.

Cons

Despite many initiatives to make the company better, there doesn't seem to be much follow through on them. There is a great deal of turnover at the lower rungs of technical support. Not much training for technical support or sales. The company is not very progressive with its technology. Focus always seems to be on squeezing more of the customers, employees and existing products with customers and employees not seeing the returns. A lot of bottlenecks in developing and implementing new products. Marketing seems to be unfocused, throwing a lot of stuff out there that doesn't make much sense. Not many of them understand the business and they seem to be in a silo that doesn't interact with other departments. Not sure what the future will be with new ownership and there is not a lot of communication about it.

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.
