Pros

Easiest interview ever. The job is also quite easy. Some people are super cool. Everyone is pretty casual. No need to try to fit in or impress anyone. 2 hour lunch break which is perfect for interviewing at other companies. They hired me and gave me a chance.

Cons

A lot of toxic people. Easy job, but sometimes the workload is heavy and things pile up, so doing a lot of easy tasks can become brainless and depressing. A lot of non-engineering tasks like putting paper and string tags on servers, tracking inventory, counting crap. The issue ticket system is very disorganized. 2 hr lunch means 9-6pm hours.

Pros

Products are pretty cool. Free breakfast.

Cons

Lack of trust here - every person for themselves. There's favoritism. System is old as hell. Work is stressful and overloaded, but employees are underpaid. You have to be thick skinned and chase people down to get things done, or else you'll get taken advantage of. In the end, it's always sales fault. If you're coming out of college and looking for a starting point, great ... just don't start here.

Pros

Health Insurance and product selection.

Cons

Should have listened to my spidey senses during the interview process, something was not right. It is not run like any other tech company I have ever worked for in my career. Everything they told me in the interview process never happened. The guarantee pay they give you to start you will never see that much money ever again. The commission program is the worst in the industry and they cannot explain it to you because that information is company confidential. You have to ship millions every month to make a little bit of commissions. No org charts because the turnover is so high (over 1/3 of the sales people leave every year). You would think that your competition would be Dell, HP, Lenovo etc. but it is the people you work with. There is so many sales people all going after the same business. Everyone is out for themselves and will steal business from you without any hesitation. No sales tools, no way to look up your sales numbers, everything is a secret. Any task takes days or weeks to get completed. If you have any other options for a job I would take it…
