Pros

Being in FM / real estate business, offices are pleasant as you would expect. Some great people in the organisation and at the very top of organisation Blue chip clients Doing well inspite of economic climate

Cons

Very hierachical / political at senior /middle / account director management level - jobs for the boys(and girls)! Compensation package not commensurate with with what's expected - mostly take and very little give Poor work /life balance - expected to be online around the clock - holidays, weekends, attending a funeral, hospital.... People are treated as a disposable commodity

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
