Pros

Only remote option is available for support engineers

Cons

Micromanaging Non technical people always lead technical teams who has no idea on technical issues PTO policy sucks you can’t take pto more than 10 days. No paid paternity leave Hardwork is never recognized Company goal is only sales and they don’t care once signed, Most of managers are puppets of directors!! You never get promoted to other open positions and you are always ignored!! Pay raise is only 2% even though you over performed!! Only management and sales people make money!! They just ignore technical experts !! Unless you are known to director !! No single manager is from other community!! They even stopped paying internet bill after a policy change for 50$ bucks !!best example for corporate greed

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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