Pros
- company events - It used to be the people but more good people are leaving. The ex-response center manager was heart of the company and it was sad to see him leave. Even though this is a currently a con, some of the employees he personally trained are still here, passing on his knowledge and belief of what a good tech should be. This shaped the company positively in the past. We miss you dearly. - New techs trying to grow their skills. The exposure of hundreds of clients can be intense. There is a trade-off, but i think it is worth putting in the extra time to tackle and learn
Cons
- Workload is not balanced across departments / people. Some employees' workload seem a lot less compared to those carrying the weight for their team. The response center senior guys last year seem to carry the weight for all departments. the project team senior guys seem to never sleep or get any of the benefits because they are on the road most of the time. - Low Morale. the original team who grew the company are all gone. The company will attempt to put a band-aid to "fix" morale issues but it's too late. - Politics. Marketing. Selling. this defines the small company more than the core values that were preached to us. It doesn't feel like the client is the #1 focus. It doesn't feel like the employees are a priority as "everyone is replaceable". People are good at talking, but really bad at executing and delivering. - Certifications. After losing the senior techs, some employees were pushed (almost forced) to get certifications so the company can stay partners with vendors for discount and benefits. Other employees did not have to; creating an unfair treatment in the workplace. - Horrible worklife balance. This is one of the biggest problems at Endsight. While told we should balance our work/life, it's near impossible for some. some employees are favored and some add little value to the company. Some do more harm than good. - Angry clients. Besides unhappy employees, a lot of clients are also very dissatisfied with the company's performance. It makes working here even harder. Smaller clients do not get the attention they deserve and bigger clients are leaving us. there is a big turnover rate. - Hugh turnover rate. In less than a year. senior guys and new hires are leaving. About 30% of the people left. These are not your average tech. These are the people who made working at Endsight fun, challenging, and boosted morale. - Low pay. Compared to the market average, Endsight nickel and dimes some employees. - Horrible health benefits. Can't even call them "benefits".
