      Technical Support

      Technical support engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Having "Red Hat" on your resume - Free training, if you can get approval

      Cons

      - The new management for technical support has made it very clique-ish. If you worked for Apple, you can do no wrong, promotions and raises flow like water. If you didn't work for Apple, leave. - Poor work/life balance. Management demands you stay late, skip lunches, etc - all for the "customer" - Under paid by about 30% - Too few people for workload - No appreciation - Promotions are dangled like carrots so you skip pay raises, haven't had a raise in 18 months, not even a pay bump. - Claim to be about meritocracy and transparency, but if you counter anything management says, you are blacklisted

      Great perks/office environment, poor management and morale in HR

      Human resources
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fun/upbeat office environments, company events, encouragement for employees to collaborate and grow.

      Cons

      Work/life balance. Expectation to be "on call" 24/7, but not paid accordingly. When employees leave, management talks poorly of them. "Open" culture is praised, but only if you agree with upper management and "drink the Kool-Aid." Turnover is high, and they blame it on "not being a good culture fit."

      The dream vs. The reality...

      Territory account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fast paced, friendly, cutting-edge technology, exceptional space for company growth, competitive pay and benefits, the ability to offer your technology customers valuable options.

      Cons

      Kludgy processes lead to a rudderless feel. Countless, mis-matched internal tools create a massive time suck. Internal policies are poorly communicated. Management promotions appear to be based on seniority and/or nepotism vs. qualifications. Managers are rewarded for instituting/perpetuating a status-quo culture- despite a company mission directly counter to such behavior. Too many 'what the heck does that job title mean' jobs being created, indicating mission creep/ turf growth...
