Pros

The team is great and there are some really smart people! AWS opportunities and learning is encouraged.

Cons

This company only cares about one thing and one thing only, money! They reduced my entire team’s salaries by 10% despite our contract not losing any profitability. They rolled this plan out with little planned, acknowledgement of what they were doing, or clear messaging. Stay away if you want to work for a company that is transparent or treats there employees with any respect.

Pros

They'll hire anyone so that's a bonus. They won't let a billet go unfilled so unqualified people get opportunities easy. If you fib on your resume, you won't be vetted so it's worth the risk.

Cons

Financially, they do value paper degrees more than real world experience. If you have 10+ years of experience and no degree, good luck making more than a kid with a degree and no skills. They'll just dangle 4% raise in front of you while you do most the work while the kids with college degrees are lost in the work. The company is posturing to be purchased so that's why they rebranded the name to SMX and filling positions as fast as possible with unqualified people. Don't join for the long haul. Get in, get out. Once SMX gets purchased, who knows what will happen? Benefits are not the greatest or cheapest. I am a single income family with 2 kids. We struggled with the benefits. Program managers are merely therapists to listen to employee complaints. Nothing actionable comes from your input up the chain. HR is extremely woke, like most HR these days. If you are a white man, stay off their radar. You're guilty without a doubt.

Pros

Remote work was a plus.

Cons

I have never been part of an establishment that is so toxic. The contract I worked on was understaffed and we were completely overworked. The environment was extremely negative, starting at the top that bled down to everyone. Worked 10 hour days and was expected to perform well although we received zero training from the beginning. Couldn't trust anyone. Demanding and belittling people. Very high turnover rate. They might pay well but it is absolutely not worth the cost you pay personally. Zero work life balance.
