Pros

- Money - Co-Workers are super talented - Products are interesting

Cons

- Leaders are dishonest and hypocritical. The "leadership principles" apparently don't apply to the S-Team - Getting promoted is difficult. I get nothing but positive feedback, outperform others at my level, but that's not enough. you need what is essentially a thesis defense and all the burden is on you. - I was hired as a remote worker, received the highest evaluation rating possible in my performance review, but am being forced back into office just to dial into meetings bc my team is distributed. - Multiple members of my team have had to go on medical leave due to being overworked

Pros

Supplied work clothes. Compressed schedule. 3-4 day work weeks.

Cons

They are not forthcoming with expectations in the interview. Job responsibilities in actuality were being a janitor/plumber/electrician/mechanic with too much janitor work. Taking out trash/sweeping/mopping. The onboarding was a joke, I did not meet my manager for the first few days. They made it clear from the beginning you do not matter to them. Management makes the job way too difficult for what it really is. They think it is fast paced and it is not. Sink or swim attitude from them. Was told by management they want you to be stressed. You are on your own for training. Management not open for innovative ideas for making the job easier. Toxic office environment and they blatantly tell you that you are in competition with the rest of your coworkers which leads to backstabbing. They tell you that you only have a few years in the EOT position and you must move up or move out. It is a good stepping stone to get into the data center industry. I quit to go to a different data center company and the culture difference is night and day. This is a last resort company to get in the data center roles!
