Pros

People you work with are great - everyone is always willing to help others out to get the job done. Benefits are good, unlimited PTO was nice.

Cons

Lack of Leadership - Promotions are often based on past performance rather than leadership readiness. As a result, individuals with no management experience are placed in Manager roles—and they, in turn, train the next wave of leaders. This perpetuates a cycle of underdeveloped leadership and missed opportunities for growth. Lack of Diversity in Practice- While the company publicly champions Diversity and Inclusion—with detailed policies and statements—the reality within departments tells a different story. The guidelines are not consistently followed, and the lack of representation across teams is both visible and concerning. See above - LACK OF LEADERSHIP Male-Dominated Culture - TruStage operates in a deeply male-dominated environment, where gender bias is so ingrained it often goes unnoticed. Assertive men are seen as natural leaders, while assertive women are labeled as difficult. This double standard reinforces outdated norms and stifles progress toward true equity.

Pros

Competitive pay and good benefits

Cons

Way too much going and l everything is a priority. When concerns are brought up as management is struggling to stay above water daily due to leading multiple teams, having a dozen or more priorities and being in back to back meetings every day, the concerns get brushed off and manager is told to figure it out. Lack of long term departmental vision from Director and constant shift in direction. Director does not care about team members and when concerns brought up from team members through the manager to Director, they get brushed off. So much restructuring going on constantly and leades get replaced every few years due to that. Concerns about more outsourcing down the road as new 3rd party company is starting to take a major application and moving data to their data centers. New major solutions get picked without looking at multiple vendors and any research. Director has a tyrannical leadership style and shuts down conversations and suggestions from management. Director only cares about his image to his peers and people above him and does not care about people reporting to him or people that his managers lead. Management and individual contributors morale is low due to above reasons. Not a good long term place to work.
