Pros

Salary initially "appeared" to be ok

Cons

* Salary is good but you'll be worked very hard. Expect to work 80-100 hours plus per week. * Most people work from home which has many cons: 1) Inability to learn from colleagues 2) Out of sight - out of mind, therefore you're not going to be missed if they decide to layoff employees, 3) It tends to attract many parents so you'll have to work around them taking the kids to school, hospital etc 4) Since it's a global company, expect to have meetings at 1am and/or 5am frequently. You will never be able to get a proper nights sleep and you can forget about seeing friends and family while you're working here. * The company cares far more about its share price than its employees - so they don't mind mass layoffs * Since you're most likely to work from home, you may never meet the people you're working with so they're more likely to not care if they're rude or degrading

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
