Pros

Talented engineers, "able to work from home" - quotes explained in cons. Matched 401k.

Cons

You will get the opportunity to work from home, but your manager will call you at least 3 times to try and get you onsite - even if you requested the day to be WFH and you have no car. Management does not listen, not your needs or concerns. Training is a joke, documentation is impossible. Broken promises throughout our entire acquisition. They bought our amazing company and then destroyed it. Not only did most the staff jump ship after acquisition but so did the clients. Clients realized that this company was going to provide an extremely diminished service from what they had been getting and they all went with a new MSP. Do yourself a favor and apply to any, literally any, other MSP in the area. This one will break your soul.

Pros

The people are some of the best and like family. We care a lot about our teams and our customers. There are good leaders here but it has just become too hard for us to lead the way they want to.

Cons

Executive Leadership, especially the CEO. The culture has changed a lot since he replaced the former CEO. He does not operate with the same values that have been a part of the company ever since I got here. He rules by fear, control, micromanagement, and is unapproachable. You can see it in meetings with the business and even in our Company meetings. It is uncomfortable. He has started only bringing people in from his former network and they are bringing in their friends. Everything is India focused and North America people are losing their jobs and those that are left are burned out from the excessive workload. We are watching good employees leave either on their own or because they are forced out. The optics of who is leaving and why are not good. I want this to work but it feels like a sinking ship at this point. Our customers aren't even happy with us anymore and that makes our jobs even harder.
