Pros

Unlimited PTO is nice, people are nice

Cons

Overworked, underpaid.. Management does not realize the amount of pressure or stress. Everyone is looking for a new job and top people are leaving at the first chance they get.

Thank you for the feedback. We work hard at ensuring employees have a good work-life balance through a number of programs including but not limited to our wellness initiative, unlimited PTO and our charity committee (which supports the communities our locations are in). We do regular compensation studies to ensure that our total compensation (base, variable and benefits) is competitive.

Pros

Working from home. Immediate supervisor was a great supervisor who knew how to lead his team in a time of overloaded work load.

Cons

1) Senior/Upper Management intentionally names positions so that they can remain well below market value on paying you for what you do. I am easily making 1/4 - 1/2 more money for what I did at Flexential. 2) Benefits are terminated the date of your last day. Senior/Upper Management is so worried about their pocket books they don't even finish out paying the rest of the month. I have left at least 10 different jobs and not a single one of them has ever terminated benefits the day of your last day. They have ALL finished out the month. 3) COVID gave Senior/Upper Management an excuse to not back fill positions. Even though when COVID first hit there was an influx of work required to assisting their customers with working from home strategies. Now with the economy coming back online they REFUSE to refill those positions and more working is coming in again. So less staff and 2-3 times the work loads. Yet demand to satisfy customer is still supposed to be number 1 priority. Those three things above should tell you that Senior/Upper Management does not care about their employee's, their employee's health and safety, nothing. I would say I feel chewed up and spit but that is putting it lightly. I would say I feel chewed up, consumed(they got energy from me and plenty of benefits), they punch their stomach a couple times, then vomited into a pile of acid, they gather their friends then pointed at their employee's trying to get out and they laugh at them.

Pros

Was once a reputable datacenter company. Unlimited PTO if your in a department that you can use it (Sales, Professional Services, Management). Some work from home opportunities. You might have a shot at advancing quick due to all the people that built the company leaving. If you're joining sales you might make some good money but you'll have a terrible product to sell and little support. I'm having trouble thinking of any more.

Cons

I'm not kidding when I say moral at this company has gone down the tube. Terrible benefits for a company of its size when they used to be awesome. They like to disguise terrible events, changes, and culture in good words and show repeat signs of neglect towards employees. Just search linkedin for anyone that worked there. You'll see many have left recently. Most that have stayed have retention bonuses or terrible stock options that need to vest. Most of all, its terrible watching a company you watched go through so many acquisitions, finally plop over and prioritize dollars over employee happiness, and have anyone talented walk out the door. HR is pretty much there to deflect issues as long as possible so they can either pull a Toys R Us bankruptcy after the investors pull out all the money or the company goes public eventually. Promotions and raises were promised over the last year and many were disappointed with low or no raises. They have fired off many roles just to improve the bottom dollar. Most of the east coast teams are more about power and politics then knowing what they're doing.
