One of the better places one can work

Senior technical support engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There were some great people working, highly competent, technically proficient people. I had a wonderfully flexible schedule and a fantastic work/life balance. Of course schedules are dependent on the client site at which you work. I had a positive experience working here and if I hadn't chosen to leave the area, would probably still be with them.

Cons

The home office has many benefits that don't apply outside of the home office.

Business Outlook

Pros

used to be a great place to work; the only pros left in existence are the customers and the good coworkers that are left.

Cons

leadership looks out for themselves; employees feel all the pain; ethics are a thing of the past; good old boy network is strong for top 10% of employees.

Thank you for your honest review. I am pleased to announce that we have been making big strides and changes towards improving our internal communications. Namely, we released a new, monthly internal publication specifically to deliver news from around the company and enhance communication between staff across the company. We understand that this is a vital part of keeping our community informed on the variety of programs and projects we all invest in and work towards; not to mention the importance of keeping you, the employee, informed about the future. Please keep an eye on your email inbox for these publications. Also, remember to check ConnectingPoint for daily news, which we have also sought to make more accessible. Finally, each of our employees deserves recognition. We recently held Employee Appreciation events in locations across the country. We will continue to strive to improve our communications and will be sure to share your advice with senior management. Thank you for more than 10 years.
