Pros

For the most part great coworkers, good work / life balance, decent benefits. Some of the corrupt upper management is now out, so thats a start.

Cons

Very poor HR policies- no yearly review/pay increases ever, significant number of long time employees had PTO vacation days taken away from them to match up with the new corporate wide policy. There's a good reason there is so much new upper management (CEO,CIO,VP's) - old management did everything they could to stuff their own pockets, made business decisions based on how it benefited them personally. Just look at the stock, company has been run into the ground by those at the top.

Pros

The data center work itself was interesting and there were opportunities to gain exposure to large-scale projects. Some coworkers on-site were supportive and hardworking.

Cons

Leadership and communication were extremely inconsistent. There was little structure, minimal training, and employees often felt like they were expected to figure things out on their own without proper support or mentorship. Workloads and expectations changed constantly depending on who you spoke to. The company talks about growth, but many employees are underutilized or not actually developed professionally. It often felt more reactive than organized, especially from upper management. Decisions were made with very little transparency, and morale suffered because of it. There was also a noticeable disconnect between corporate leadership and the realities of what was happening on-site. Many employees felt expendable rather than valued.
