Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you enjoy working with great co-workers - but bummed to see that you don't feel like we are investing in our employees. We recently completed a very positive merit cycle with our employees, where multiple of them have taken on new roles and opportunities within our brands. We have indeed been investing in a strategy to onboard companies whose products, services, and talent augment our product portfolio and help us innovate for our target market. It's a strategy that is helping us survive and grow in a consolidating industry. We have an open-door policy - and encourage you to reach out to your direct supervisor or HR with more details regarding your concerns.

Pros

Good place to start in the hosting or Linux administration field. Some very great people work here that are willing to transfer immense knowledge if you are willing to learn. Free food, drinks, company swag, hosting, and server co-location. They will pay for some certification tests although you have to study on your own time. The insurance is now much better and the 401k plan matches 100% up to 6% of your salary.

Cons

Extremely poor to no training on the policy or technical aspects of the job. You are unable to trust management (don't trust management unless their promises are in writing). Culture is heavily based on cronyism/nepotism. Can be a high stress environment at times. Changes in management attitude/style could make this a stellar place to work, unfortunately some members are seemingly tenured or simply unable to be discussed.
