Pros

There is an onsite lounge area with beverages served on fridays

Cons

Where to start...micro-management at its finest. Almost every task completed has to be cleared through a manager. They do not let employees work remote...which is sad considering this is a technology company. Come on it's the 21st century. When you kindly give them a two week notice, they terminate you immediately and HR walks you out that day. They will not paid out your earned bonuses after you have left as well.

At Sentinel, we strive to have each and every employee with us, no matter the duration, leave with a positive impression. The “Advice to Management” really resonates with us. We have an open door policy available so everyone has a chance to be heard when they have ideas, suggestions, problems, or want to discuss next steps in their careers. Our management team takes this policy very seriously, and the feedback received is used quite often in decision-making. We hope this open door policy is leveraged by any employee that has concerns about their role or career at Sentinel. While we are always disappointed to receive a low rating by a former employee, we will continue to keep the focus on creating an environment that fosters personal growth, encourages creativity, and rewards success. For the majority, this formula not only allows them to thrive professionally, but also promotes a positive work environment that they have continuously ranked as a “Best Places to Work” in both the Chicago Tribune and Arizona Republic.

Pros

Best work environment of management, peers and colleagues I have ever had an opportunity to work with in my 25 years in the networking/telecommunications industry. Positive atmosphere, can do attitudes. Everyone pitches in, everyone is willing to help. They grow and nurture and collaborate efficiently to make sound business choices for the best win/win outcomes for the team and customers. Great pay, great benefits. Great working rewards and acknowledgments. Flexible, adaptable - but driven management styles... Top Notch organization bottom to top. I feel like I found a home here.

Cons

This is not a "Con", rather another "Pro": It's not that I haven't had a differing opinion, or disagreement, because I have. I was heard, there were discussions. The results are that everything has worked out as it has needed to - and everyone, including myself, continues to benefit and grow from the experiences.
