Tech Job - Devops Engineer Thru Employee Review

Management advocates for their employees' benefits and raises. Hard work and initiative are always recognized and appreciated, it's not a place where you're stuck treading water. Management is open to suggestions about how to improve company operations and will implement improvements. Hours are flexible but not lax, get the work done and do it well. Management is also aware of life situations and willing to work with employees when they need a hybrid or remote schedule. Coworkers are respectful and easy to get along with. Offices are nice and the kitchen is always stocked with free snacks and drinks. Free hot breakfasts are served Friday mornings. Building is within walking distance to good places for company happy hour.

It's a small company, so wearing multiple hats is something that you either have to take or leave. I prefer a challenge but if you want one job with no challenges or learning opportunities this isn't the place for you. It is what you make of it, being a small company means there's less corporate structure, so that has to come from you. The upside to that is you have open opportunities to make change happen.

There are slim to none.

The company does not seem to be doing well on many levels. They seem to have few clients and they bring nothing new to the table compared to their competitors. Employees there complain and are disgruntled. Management has no time to address their issues. They favor employees based on work that is required for the company to operate. Management is also very young and extremely inexperienced not only about the industry but also managing employees. They are in way over their heads. Any qualified employee there is put in their place. There is little leadership or guidance in work. Tasks change on the fly and there is no set job description. The job description is nothing like the work you will do, since they require you to "be flexible" and you may end up making nothing but PowerPoint slides even with a graduate degree. They will entice you with growth and opportunity and if they don't like you, they will not hesitate to cut you. You will have wasted time doing and learning nothing.
