Pros

People Work-life balance That’s it

Cons

If you are a new grad and need experience, you will learn a lot. However, the company is not what it used to be. When I was hired, they were flexible with working from home if needed, but that was taken away, and now they strictly require employees to come in three days a week. During a snowstorm, instead of closing the office, they simply allowed people to come in later — and if you couldn’t make it, you had to use a PTO day. If you need to leave early on in-office days, management often gives you a hard time. The salaries are extremely low, and promotions are difficult to achieve. To move up, you are required to go through a panel interview to “prove” why you deserve a promotion, which typically only results in a minimal raise. Advancement is very difficult, and favoritism is common. The company could afford to pay employees a livable wage but chooses not to. Turnover is high, and I would not recommend staying here long term. I’m glad I found something better.

Pros

Manager is very hands-off and trusts you to get your work done as long as your metrics look good. Overall good work culture - good work/life balance. Low stress work which can be nice if you’re okay with, what’s for the most part, a fairly repetitive/uninspiring variety of work (I personally like this but realize it’s not for everyone). Very friendly co-workers. Plenty of chances to prove yourself & work your way up the ladder if that’s something you care about.

Cons

Heavy focus on questionable metrics, especially in this current era of measuring AI usage. Repetitive/uninspiring work that can start to feel boring if you’re wanting something more interesting

Pros

Work from home, paid for career development trainings/certifications, and depending on your role, flexible hours

Cons

-Management/Senior Leadership teams are very disorganized and often change processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult to get promoted -SHI loves automating everything they can, so a lot of times, work ends up feeling very tedious and repetitive -Day to day work very often includes tedious process approvals from management, slowing down pace of work with no real feedback given during the approval process -Met a lot of people who were great, but met far more who are toxic -Everything feels escalated even if the “issue” is manageable -EXTREMELY micromanaged
