Lack of management & engineering experience

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good work/life balance - they try to force as many cases at you as possible but if you are able to cope it's not a bad place to work.

Cons

Money is not great. They expect you to learn very quickly and training was very poor. When I arrived it was much better than when I left, it really deteriorated.

Constantly Changing, Growing Company. But with a loss of tenured, experienced people

Technical support engineer ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid benefits. Good culture. Plenty of Snacks and free food on a weekly basis. Technical learning opportunities abound. Customer focused, support focuses on top shelf service that puts rest of industry to shame.

Cons

Turnover for peers and managers alike within support is high. The cream of the crop leave for internal opportunities (good) or, too often, leave for better wages outside the company. Constnatly changing metrics for support organization, makes getting raises potentially tricky. Bottom line goal is do what's best for the customer, which is awesome; but how they try to measure that is not communicated well.
