      Great people and culture, poor management

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people, friendly and very supportive through the pandemic. Additional day off each quarter and support with mental health.

      Cons

      No transparency in pay, promotions are based on tenure rather than skills. Often dealing with incompetent managers or those that have got far too comfortable earning high salaries with no new ideas or knowledge of what’s going on in the real world.

      Inadequate management for tech support, painfully slow hiring process, "people relations" teams are a joke.

      Technical support engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some remote work. Friendly teammates that are always willing to help. Friendly environment even in the office. Bonus quarterly. Spend first 3 months focusing on getting RHCSA and RHCE certifications(forfeit first bonus).

      Cons

      Technical support is underpaid compared to industry standards. Work feels like an assembly line rather than helping customers. Managers without technical background being in charge of technical support and writing their performance reviews. People relations teams need an overhaul of adequate people. How your bonus is calculated for front line is a joke. Bonus is dependent on your rank, not so much performance. If you are front line you will most of the time receive a bonus between 60% and 70% even if you are a top performer on your team.
