Pros
Looks good on your resume, occasionally get free food left over from meetings
Cons
So many, undperaid being top of the list. Toxic people. People from other departments trying to tell other people how to do their job. No teamwork, everyone looks to shift the blame. People make up rumors and spread gossip. Terrible hours

Thank you for your feedback. We’re disappointed to hear your experience was not totally positive. We appreciate all our employee’s advice and suggestions and will share your comments with management. Without knowing your specific team, we are not able to speak to the issue you’ve mentioned. If you would like to provide additional comments, please feel free to take this offline at SHIFeedback@shi.com which is a non-confidential alias.
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-Tools are extremely outdated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
