Pros

Nice location in Clifton Park, NY. Staff is located in two locations which is nice so it's not so crowded.

Cons

Extremely outdated technology. They are still implementing technology that was state of the art in the 80's and 90's. They refuse to entertain newer proven technology. Any attempt to direct them in a state of the art solution is denied. They won't even allow you to implement things that are not so state of the art as they are stuck in a rut of "this has always worked, why change now". Trying to convince them that there are better ways of doing something is pointless.. If you over 50 and looking for a place to go to ride it out, this might be for you. Don't expect to learn anything new. Work/personal life time is non-existent as well. They expect you to be available 24X7X365 whether you're on vacation or not. There have been extensive layoffs that no one is reporting either. We've lost a lot of very skilled technical people the last several months! I know of two former employees that did not rate the company in a positive manner that were let go after filling out the "anonymous" internal company survey. Current employees, you've been warned!

Thank you for candor. I agree that it is mission-critical for us to keep our technology and methods as current as possible. If you are comfortable, I would invite you to share more specifics with me at jennifer.barbic@nfrastructure.com so we can continue to improve.

Pros

there is free water in the office, the floors are solid, there's air too. they paid me.

Cons

how much time do you have? start with the phony, hr-posted reviews. they're desperate and easy to spot (who else would say, "Look Forward To Work Every Day"). one says those posting negative reviews here are under-performers who should be fired. that's untrue. those posting negative reviews have a point. and performed or perform well.. managers undermine and demean their people. the company could care less about keeping good people. they want to squeeze the most out of you. don't make the slightest wave or you'll be dressed down in front of other employees. one employee who did great work came this close to being fired for telling a stupid, non-offensive in any way joke. That goes to the next point, the company has absolutely no sense of humor. there is no paid training, no possibility for advancement (new people are brought in even though there are qualified employees), no sense you're valued due to a ;my way or the highway attitude.' there's a manager there who's openly hostile, rages at th top of his lungs and has a hair trigger. he's scary and wouldn't last fifteen minutes at another company. this company gave him an award. pay and benefits are okay - nothing extraordinary. morale is low, particularly since twenty people were recently fired because there was lower than thought growth. none of the values of the nfrastructure culture are out of the ordinary for today's business. the difference is, here, they hide it behind phony smiles and shallow rewards. underneath, they realize the economy is not as strong as it could be and there are plenty of people looking for jobs - an employer's market. they use this to their advantage far more than other companies.

Pros

not a $%@damn thing four words five words

Cons

in january, 2016 a number of people were laid off and it made no sense whatsoever since they were replaced 6 mos later. in the meantime others had to do their work and the work of the fired employees. it's now clear a bigger company was looking to buy nfrastructure and the owner needed a lower bottom line to look better for purchase, so he slashed twenty some odd jobs. nice! the owner, already quite rich, has announced he wants to be a billionaire and that's his focus beyond any other consideration, including employees. the company has been sold and the owner will eventually transition to that company. read carefully the honest reviews speaking about bad management, no training, and no chance for advancement, for they are all TRUE. this company - the owner and a few chosen cronies - care less about you as long as you're producing. employees are nothing more than commodities; there is no loyalty to staff, just lip service of loyalty to staff by managers; there are promises made that are empty, and that sometimes become cruel carrots-on-a-stick; manager's smiles are meaningless and cannot mask the subtext of pervasive hostility in the halls. This company will not exist in it present form for more than a few years while the owner milks it, and the employees, for all it has. do not work here. there are far better organizations than nfrastructure.
