Pros

Good entry-level experience in a corporate role at a cubicle farm.

Cons

Below-average salary, 401K vesting period is five years. Pre-COVID the remote work policy was basically non-existent. The constant grand announcements of RTO signaled disorganization and a disconnect. For example, back in November 2020, we were supposed to work at headquarters once a week, but that was shut down after a mere two days. The company has since adopted an inflexible hybrid model that seems to be trending toward more days in office than WFH. Suggestions for improvement to interdepartmental processes were never implemented. Regarding low-performing employees, the only disciplinary action taken was against those in the top rank by making them pick up the slack. It was a struggle to process an ever increasing volume of work on ancient laptops programmed with malfunctioning internal systems. A hardware/software reseller boasts billions in revenue and invests more resources in rebranding than its technology or employees.

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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
