Lots of room for improvement as the company is still growing.

Pros

Great competitive benefits. Company events are fun. Handful of people who work here are wonderful individuals. Ability to learn new skill sets based off the many hats that you will wear.

Cons

Some individuals contribute to a negative work environment and nothing is done about it. Back office team members are not given same level of respect or kindness that is shown to team members on contracts. Underpaid for responsibilities of role.

Iron sharpens iron. I will commit to you that your feedback will be front and center in making some course corrections in 2024. I’ve seen a number of bits of feedback citing the delta in focus on how our engineers & billable personnel are handled versus how members of overhead/backoffice teams may feel. And I will say that since our founding, we’ve deliberately designed our culture to focus on “loving up” and providing servant leadership to the people on the front-lines--the people delighting our customers and generating our revenue. I personally worked for companies where the people in the “ivory tower” @ “corporate” neglected the forward deployed teams and literally created impediments to their delivery of value for our clients. So we intentionally sought to create the opposite dynamic at STS. But if I’ve over-corrected for that dynamic, then I will refocus on a course correction that seeks to bring things back into a better balance--but can’t promise that our overall priorities will change. A priority and focus on our forward deployed personnel is in our DNA and support roles are servant leaders providing “support.” To your point about our growing pains though, we’ve grown pretty aggressively [like to the 40+ new people over 2023 til Jan of 2024…which is a lot for us!]. We are in the business of people and admittedly our systems/operations have struggled to integrate all of those people. But for you to not to feel kindness and respected along the way, that is unacceptable. No excuses… your feedback is just what we need to buckle down and tackle. Thanks again for your feedback. Leaving feedback means that you believe that we can do better. And we’re up for that challenge. Adrian Rich CEO www.linkedin.com/in/adrianrich

Pros

One of the biggest advantage is the ability to work fully remote with distributed work in present times. STS is heavy on professional development for my career in terms of trainings, conference summits (Apprenticeship trainings that pivots into fulltime positions and the AWS Summit Washington, DC 2023) and my overall technical journey. Also the bonus compensation is very rewarding as they recognize my hard work and contribution to help create value for our customer and partners. STS company culture here focuses on collaboration, dedication and innovation with my coworkers for example working tech sessions for any blockers and foster any technical challenges. This strengthens STS values and ethics which curates a great reputation both presently and in the future. STS also has a diverse employee network to enable the professional development of varying identity groups, location zone and setting measurable targets of acquiring diverse talent for adequate representation. The business goals in expanding their contractual work space also benefits myself as I attain the contract related certifications on this Journey. Effective communication is carried out from upper management to every employee, for example adopting Slack, Microsoft Outlook and Teams into our daily routine of communication. This is a huge form of transparency.

Cons

I do not have any cons for working here.

Pros

My experience at STS has been enlightening. There is a culture of continuous learning has pushed me to be focused on my professional development. I have both been professionally challenged and supported in my role.

Cons

As with any organization, there are opportunities for improvement, mainly, in gaining insights to enhance our work processes and fostering open conversations to encourage collaboration. This would be integral in getting feedback and seeing our weak spots as a company.
