Pros

-Top notch HR and Finance staff A+ -Sharp Sales Team -Awesome procurement staff -Paid in pizza for overtime -Some staff were extremely great to work with. -Company owners are terrific people.

Cons

-Ridged and too process driven and techs spend more time making sure ticket information fit into there perfect mold. You feel less like a tech and can spend less time being a tech. Constant micromanagement by rather misguided and incompetent account executives. -A very misguided and directed bunch. Trying too many different major changes at the same time. -Very poor follow through at the highest levels of management. Just all over the place -Employs at least 6 individuals whose sole purpose is to micromanage and critic there bizarre and rigid ticket details and metrics. -Tons of duplication in paperwork and information management. -Always being expected to achieve more and more with little to no pay increase, while watching a large number of staff members (mostly internal admin) doing bare minimum. -The admin staff is a massive problem and one of my top reasons for departing -A family and close knite Top level. Unfortunately it's the top players under the direct leadership that have brought it to a major decline. -With select staff member in place, there will always be too many problems here and not worth the aggravation. -On call is an absolute dreadful experience

Pros

If you have an idea to improve things, it often can get put into place fast. Senior management is involved, approachable, warm and trustworthy. The focus is on the work and the clients, vs. politics. Most peers are very supportive and camaraderie is high. Showers, toaster oven, ample fridge space, and real dishes in the kitchen. Health plan is great for company size, retirement plan with matching, tuition reimbursement. Great natural light. Walking distance to ocean and restaurants at Maine location. Trees and grass outside at Mass location.

Cons

Some staff is dispassionate about outcomes and ownership, (varies by team and location). Ergonomics needs more support (desk height adjustments). The balance of process vs. accountability and support is not something managers seem to be aware of or speak to openly, reducing engagement and sense of ownership in staff. Reviews are not SMART. Some reporting line triangles with multiple managers giving different instructions. Requirements not gathered during facilities changes, caused unnecessary sense of insecurity and upheaval among staff.
