Pros

Schedule is consistent, not a lot of pros. This company are frauds.

Cons

Pay sucks. They lie to you during the interview process and when you work there. It’s a boys club and job descriptions are lies. They aren’t afraid to deceive you so you accept the job. Your bosses talk crap behind your back.

Pros

1. Support from Leadership - If you have an idea that could add value to Sterling directly or indirectly my leadership across my various roles were always very supportive and willing to provide whatever I needed. I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to advocate for several aspects of growing Sterling's technical capability with the full support of everyone above me. My wins were celebrated and I felt the work I was doing was very worthwhile even if there wasn't an immediate impact. 2. Autonomy (for very specific roles) - Along the same lines as support from leadership, in my role specifically, I was able to craft ideas for growth, connect to new partners, learn new technology, assist sales engineering, help out post sales deployment, and overall apply my skills where I knew they'd be best utilized. I never felt 'bored' or as if my role was meaningless. My leadership allowed me to grow in areas that I was passionate about so long as I could provide business justification. As such, aside from needing to be immediately available throughout the day I was able to get my work done on my own schedule as long as expectations and deadlines were met. 3. Create Your Own Path - Similar to autonomy, Sterling is small enough to get to know all aspects of the sales cycle regardless of your role. While growth, on a corporate level, is limited due to a relatively flat hierarchy, growth as an individual is limitless. If you want to learn more about how contracting works ... just ask where you could help. Same goes for nearly every aspect of the company, from my experience. If you have lofty goals of learning the entire structure, partnerships, technical nuances, selling methods, etc, Sterling is the type of place where you're only limited by your own motivation. However, I'll caveat this to say my experience might be unique due to being on a brand new team that struggled to find a place in the beginning so we had the chance to do a little bit of everything. Overall, Sterling was an exceptional place for growth for me. I transitioned from an in-the-weeds engineer only focused on my next cert or next cool tech gadget, to really being interested in the larger scope of what our customers actually needed, not just technically but from a business sense. Plus you can learn about hover crafts, or quantum computing, or rockets if you every run into Chris Cyr. Ira Bargon, Chris Cyr, and Brad Moore were some of the best leaders throughout my career. I learned a tremendous amount from each of them.

Cons

Not a lot of cons, just one in particular that I think could have an easy fix. 1. Lack of Inclusion for Remote Staff - HQ Centric culture that might be getting dated, especially for attracting new talent. - Sterling is built on a very traditional culture focused on synchronous work. Seeing people, water cooler talks, and somewhat exclusive email chains (you have to know they exist then ask the person to add you to them, for example) are the norm. As such, if you aren't at Head Quarters you miss out on tons of very pertinent context to the work you're doing, in my experience. Sales is the 'tip of the spear' and nearly every role not directly selling is supporting the sales organization, however often times the remaining org is not involved in some of the stories alongside sales. For example, big wins, marketing campaigns, even company news are not easily gathered for someone who's not on those specific email chains, or can't attend the monthly synchronous company update calls. Point being, if remote staff don't have the full picture of the overarching goals, initiatives, and drivers for Sales it becomes harder to support them.
