Pros
  • Ok benefits
  • Some (not all) people are nice
  • Chill and relaxed atmosphere
Cons
  • Some co-workers are very difficult to work with. Especially the ones that have been in the company for a long time, and will mock you and give you a hard time when you need help or advice.

  • You are thrown into the deep end on day one, and not given much help.

  • Poor documentation everywhere; you will literally pull your hair out to find information and find out what team can assist you.

  • Senior management doesn't care about you or your team unless there is an issue that would make them in trouble. Only then they will assist.

  • Things are very, very slow-moving.

  • Hesitant to move to the cloud.

  • Since there is not much help from others and team members on how to do things and gain information, you often feel like breaking down.

  • No team/company vision passed down, and as a result, morale is very low.

  • Very lazy and useless people, who are freeloaders. Give them a task or ask, they never do it, or come up with excuses to not do it, and get a free paycheck.

Advice to Management

Better leadership overall. More accountability for what people are doing. Making sure there is easy-to-read and find documentation everywhere.
