Pros

Leadership cares about the personnel on a personal level and will bend over backwards to address any concerns or tough situations (personal or professional). The work is generally fast paced, and you get rewarded for doing well by given more interesting, varied projects. Great first job out of college ("in the trenches"), where personal growth happens rapidly if you show genuine interest,enthusiasm, and work ethic. If you think you know a better way of doing something, you can speak up and they consider your perspective. Good initial compensation for the area, and work-life balance is hardly an issue.

Cons

Mentorship of technical skills was lacking. There were "tracks" that technicians were put in (ie network, server, desktop...) but there wasn't enough projects that allowed these teams to grow and develop more advanced skillsets. Not much opportunity for promotion and metrics for performance-based annual raises weren't transparent. Senior engineers/technicians lacked vision and broad expertise, and visibility into client infrastructure health was ad hoc, with non-existent centralized management.

Pros

Words cannot express what it is like to come to work every day looking forward to being around your coworkers and the environment I am a part of. The management truly cares about their employees. Each day the company provides a quality catered lunch for all employees. Everyone is very friendly and caring no matter if the issue is work related or not. There is plenty of room for growth, but only if you want it. It, and are willing to push for it. As how it should be. The culture at Innovative is a family environment. The CEO meets one-on-one with every employee once a year to ask them how things are going, and to see what the company can do to improve. It is fantastic!

Cons

Sometimes there is a lack of communication internally, making things more difficult for new employees. Also, there could be some improvement with compensation, but the management team is always open to discuss.

Pros

Company: This company is constantly on the move and in a positive direction; evolving to meet client, company and staff needs. I’ve found everybody with whom I’ve come into contact over my 3.5 years with Innovative, from the partners, admin staff, and colleagues to be top notch and highly collaborative. Culture: The company is sensitive to employee needs for a positive work/life balance and they make their best effort to create a friendly, supportive environment both during work and after hours through the sponsorship of numerous company-centric and greater community activities (including a volleyball team!). Personal: My primary employment was in the development of the IBM Midrange platform … yet during periods of client-engagement slowdowns, management afforded me the ability to expand my development skills into the areas of .Net and mobile technologies. For these opportunities in professional growth I am forever grateful.

Cons

No identifiable cons; a good career decision for personal professional growth.
