Pros

Newly remodeled offices and keep coffee stocked

Cons

bad culture, bad executive team and directors, fire people at will so the executives and higher ups can keep high salaries and bonuses. This is supposed to be a non-profit company but its all about how much money we can make the company or your laid-off. Company just does not care about employees. They lay-off a lot!

IBTS puts mission over margin and since its founding more than 20 years ago all levels of employees have benefited from industry or higher wages and bonuses, including across-the-board Holiday bonuses. A shift in strategic focus to certain business segments and away from others, means that where we are unable to utilize the skillsets of employees that cannot be engaged in other IBTS business units, we unfortunately have to make adjustments to staffing levels, just as any prudent business would do (whether for profit or non-profit).

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated the opportunity to work on a variety of projects and that you noted we are a great company. We understand your concern regarding the closure of our Texas office in early 2021. This decision was not made lightly and we made every effort to place staff in other positions, including remote ones, and to provide additional transitional support. We want to thank you for your contributions to the important work we did in Texas following Hurricane Harvey. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we continuously seek to improve and support our team members. If you have any further concerns or suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our HR department directly. Thank you again for the feedback and for being part of our team.

Pros

Got to steps on everyones toes and learn loads of I.T. for my career, did upset alot of people on the way. Staff were welcoming and friendly. I worked here back in 2016-2019. FYI I have kept up with IBTS over the year and this review is still accurate about management.

Cons

Leadership views I.T. as a financial burden and does not understand how I.T. enables the organization. I.T. leadership fails to communicate with IBTS leadership. Everyone suffers due to this reason. During my tenure company was adapting to pay I.T. reasonable salaries instead of severely underpaid salaries. Due to this the drama was much worse between employees than it needed to be.
