Pros

The ratty gym with old ripping equipment is probably the only thing I can think of.

Cons

Absolute garbage is the only way to accurately describe this place. Management is filled with people who are not qualified and shouldn’t be managers. Competitors can work from home but they took that away from us because the beards can care less about the people who keep the place running. It’s high school. If you’re not part of the cool-kids, you are ostracized and gaslighted. Management will put you on a PiP meanwhile you’re catching MAJOR mistakes coworkers are making on the daily. The pay is laughable. It’s comparable to working fast food. For a “billion dollar” company you can afford to pay a living wage or better benefits. There’s plenty of money in the budget to throw away for Rutgers Stadium.

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processes several times throughout the year, without consulting the teams that would be impacted -Tools are extremely outdated -What mattered to senior leadership was the velocity of closing projects, vs quality of delivery -Extremely valid criticism was often ignored -Very difficult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