Pros

This company places great value on talent and teamwork. To be still growing strong after 32+ years is a testament to the values and culture at Sentinel.

Cons

The company has so many capabilities that it can be a bit overwhelming for new employees. Once new team members get through those first several months, they see the value - the diversified portfolio of capabilities and markets served provides opportunity.

A Company left behind

Pros

Coworkers and administrative staff are friendly to work with and are generally professional and friendly. If you are an entry level Engineer or Administrator, pursuing a consultative role, this is a great place to begin. However, have the realistic expectation this position will only be 2-4 years maximum.

Cons

The company as a whole lacks general direction and has been left behind by the trending IT verticals. Disconnects from sales strategy to delivery are clearly apparent and leadership is unwilling and incapable of working collaboratively to identify business initiatives that will provide profitability and growth. Individuals hired as a technical entity with more than 5 years of experience will find they are not challenged and will not be provided necessary resources to grow professionally. Sentinel will sell the expectation of playing to a much larger market, however, dont be confused or misguided, they are very much an SMB player and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. They continue to win the Chicago Tribune "Top Workplaces" award, however, culture and employee satisfaction continue to degrade. During my tenure I experienced a minimum of a 30% attrition rate and the average individual left, including myself, because of concern surrounding the long term viability of this companies ability to compete and deliver successful solutions to customers.
