Pros

Easy to get hired, they hire anyone. You can make industry connections through partner network. Good job for setting the foundation of what you deserve from an employer - every job after this one will feel so much better because you’ve seen how bad a job can truly be.

Cons

-Thai Lee (CEO) would sacrifice you without a second thought. -You’ll be told to go against your own values. -Shi makes it like they buy lunches/provide happy hours, but it is really coming from the partners. -You’ll wake up every day wanting to give up. Micromanaging frat culture is toxic. -employees don’t receive raises. (AE base pay is 40k). Instead, they introduce things like quota increases/“revenue tax” to ensure you don’t grow your income -old systems and poorly executed CRM will make even the smallest task a burden -nobody in the real world knows what Shi is, and if they do, they hate it -you have to choose between mental health and having a slightly above-average income (if you are a top performer) -they don’t trust their employees -

Pros

Great place to work for especially for those in information technology looking to learn more from software and hardware vendors. The meet and greets + lunch and learns help you learn more about the products and services they provide.

Cons

None, I’ve had a positive experience with them!

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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