Pros

The company is always looking for new ways to make its employees happy. There is consistent focus on employee growth, both technically and socially. Working at Innovative is like being part of a family. Everyone is always looking to help each other whenever a problem arises. There are plenty of perks and new ones are added all the time. The company will help you get new certifications to push your career farther. Eventually you will develop a skill or have a deep understanding on a specific topic or technology and become the in house expert in that field. Being the expert on a specific topic really makes you feel needed throughout the organization. There really is no getting bored doing one specific thing because the workplace is so dynamic. Typically days range from end user support to infrastructure and networking. Innovative is always looking to test the newest technology and is open to suggestions to make things better.

Cons

Working from home and flexible hours (only 8-5) are not available at this time. As the company is growing there is a big focus on collaboration and being remote makes that difficult.

Pros

I worked with some genuinely kind, talented teammates and made real friendships. Perks like InnoWeek and occasional swag can be fun.

Cons

- Misleading “remote” policy: They advertise remote flexibility, but employees are required to travel about every six weeks (twice per quarter) with zero exceptions or flexibility, even when personal or family conflicts arise. - Leadership conflicts and favoritism: The CEO and CPO are in a relationship, and she oversees “People and HR.” That dynamic gives her invisible power and influence, and when she doesn’t get her way, things quickly turn unprofessional. The President’s daughter was hired as an intern, further highlighting the nepotism that shapes decisions. It’s a company led by relationships, not merit. - Toxic internal culture: Everyone seems to date everyone, and leadership turns a blind eye, creating blurred lines, favoritism, and cliques. Professional boundaries are nearly nonexistent. - Unrealistic workload: Engineers are told to stay at 80% billable, but most run closer to 90%+ just to keep up. Burnout is common and TURNOVER IS CONSTANT! Departure emails are biweekly on average. - No real growth path: The engineering career path has been “in development” for who knows how long, but never actually finished. Advancement depends on who you know, not what you contribute. - Performative values: The company loudly promoted DEI when it was trendy, but dropped it completely when politics shifted, showing it was about compliance optics, not conviction. The culture now lacks diversity and mostly attracts single, non-family-oriented employees who can tolerate constant travel and high stress.
