Pros

Good place to get our foot in the door and gain professional experience. Good place to meet friends.

Cons

After 2 years being at SHI I have never been so happy to leave a company. Very low base which does not maintain the cost of living in Austin. They give false expectation to new hires about the money they are going to make. The politics and favoritism at this company is ridiculous. The company does not fight for their employees and are ready to get rid of them as soon as they don’t hit number. They have unrealistic expectations of quota and what they want their sellers to do. They will work you like a dog for the bare minimum. Employees are very replaceable there. Please think before going to SHI. Get your experience and leave. Some of the managers are not equipped to lead teams.

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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