Pros

"Great" parking lot and office location

Cons

Incompetent and lazy management, no training or onboarding to speak of, massively unprofessional working environment. Company culture is non-existent, company founders do nothing to engage with employees or support project efforts they did not come up with. Feels very siloed, various teams have no idea what the other is doing. Company technology and infrastructure were not well planned or executed so work and the company's data structure is very disorganized, and in desperate need of actual IT engineers and not the massive bottleneck that exists now. Salary and benefits were severely underwhelming, Arisant offered no options for public transit and continues to maintain a very disinterested leadership. Overall, one of the worst employers in the state, which is a true achievement.

Pros

There were a few hardworking employees holding the company together, particularly some Directors (Managed Services, Architecture, Software Development) and a few strong engineers/consultants. Despite their best efforts, operational issues and mistakes were frequent.

Cons

This company is one of the most disorganized and mismanaged organizations I have worked for. There were instances where senior leadership would be unavailable for extended periods without communication, which created confusion and chaos for customers. In one instance, a customer cancelled a contract and sales failed to respond to more than five follow-up messages. As a result, the customer continued to be charged. The customer eventually escalated to a shared inbox, as reaching anyone by phone is not possible. When the issue was finally acknowledged, accounting was not notified, and the customer continued to be charged. Situations like this were not uncommon and point to broader communication and process breakdowns. To echo feedback shared by other employees, the organization operates in a highly siloed manner with minimal collaboration. There was also a clear and uncomfortable hierarchy. If you were not “in” with the founders, decision-making became difficult. Sales would often delay or fail to review assigned work, creating significant bottlenecks, and even external partners expressed frustration with the lack of ownership and follow-through. Attempting to establish reasonable boundaries, such as not working through the night due to ongoing planning and coordination issues, was met with resistance and you’re penalized instead of supported. While the company may appear friendly or down-to-earth on the surface, the lack of structure, accountability, and leadership creates a very challenging work environment. If you value organization, communication, and a collaborative work environment, I would strongly encourage asking detailed questions about operations, leadership availability, and decision-making processes before accepting a role here.
