Pros

Good people to work with, diverse clients

Cons

Due to a years long tendency to underbid work to beat out competitors, there is a massive reorg ongoing that seems to have no real direction. Lower staff are being cut (the ones who actually generate revenue) in favor of keeping the old management team at the top. The new CEO is getting bad information, and it will be too late by the time he understands that.

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.
