Pros

Working at Intus Windows was a pretty interesting place. For example, most of my peers were very friendly and down to earth as we all come from different career and cultural backgrounds. In other words, the workforce is a very multi-cultural group as you get to learn about different cultures and personalities. The job itself is a pretty awesome job if you like analyzing projects and such. Even the pay is okay-ish for someone who is single or someone who has freshly graduated from college. Other than that, the work/life balance is pretty amazing if you live locally in the area. You'll have a short commute, you're likely to avoid traffic, and you're home before 7:30pm or 8:00pm.

Cons

Okay with the cons there are so many things I can say about this company as I hope they changed for the better. And when I say "I hope they changed," I really mean my former boss Aurimas. For example, despite the workforce is a very friendly and diverse set of people, there was a significant lack of communication; even when it came to hiring new people as we had significant turnover left and right. Because of this, a lot of my management (CEO included) were quick to pass judgement, assume, and express skepticism "based off of other peoples professional background." And because of this, this may be a reason why Intus might fail in the years to come due to the following reasons: #1. Aurimas is wasting money on job marketing and advertisements. In other words, the bigger Aurimas's business gets, the harder it is to oversee his marketing department and the more likely his marketing dollars are being spent on efforts with little to no trackable return on investment (something a new employee could contribute as well as offsetting his budget into the positive). #2. Aurimas wants his new hires to be loyal yet at the time I was there he didn't really have an effective strategy in place. For instance, if Intus doesn't have a clear idea of their target customers; where to find them, and what they want to gain from Intus, then how could Intus's staff and management hope to see solid marketing results? Again, something a new employee could alleviate if management wasn't so skeptical of the people who apply to Intus Windows. #3. Aurimas needs to lose his "Georgetown Attitude" and embrace his employees. Why? Because his employees are the foundation of his start up company. Without employee respect, there's no dedication. And without dedication, his company won't grow to compete with other competitors. Ultimately, I would have stayed if I felt valued and if management understood the concept of running a business. Not everybody you hire is going to leave months or years later Aurimas as not everybody should be categorized either.

Aurimas is replying to the comments: #1. Not sure which marketing and advertisement budgets were considered in making the statement but it seems there is very little truth to it because this person didn't have access to these numbers. On another note not sure how is this a part of "cons" of the company. #2 Intus has very clear strategy regarding type of targeted clients and has a streamlined and an effective method of getting in front of them. Management is not skeptical at all of people applying at Intus. We have people from all around the world (14 different nationalities) with super diverse backgrounds and most of the higher management positions are held by females. #3 I personally didn't tell any of the team members which school I attended and I am quite puzzled what Georgetown attitude means. I believe that school name is not important but rather what's important is the right attitude and correct execution on a daily basis. We have a strong believe that we should not pretend to be someone who we are not, if you can talk the talk you should be able to walk the walk. When mutually agreed expectations are not being met or executed upon, excuses could be found and bitterness sinks in. I agree what Mark Zuckerburg said but please keep in mind forces consist of team members executing on a constant basis and going beyond what daily tasks require. You have great potential and you are a very smart young man, use it to your advantage. Remember, executing is the key in professional growth. I wish you best of luck in your future endeavors !

Pros

Good Salary and great benefits PTO two weeks and one week sick to start (this expands to three weeks after your third year) Great Teammates and managers Training and support from your team is incredible, trust me! I never once felt any sort of resentment or distress when clocking in everyday. This was a great job and was always filled with excitment and problem solving. The clients you develop relationships with make it all the better.

Cons

Communication from Director to CEO never really felt like it landed always. No bereavement leave, No maternity Leave. Lacking in official Holidays for time off. The last time the entire Sales team met in the US was before Covid and never happened again. Your base Salary starts low but can be negotiated. Max pay, regardless of sales performance, is capped. Top Dog award is non existent. Bonus structure currently in place works but is challenging as you do not control your project monetary value always. No commission but maybe in the future. If you cannot handle a lot of stress, maybe this isn't for you. You will have to push on products that are "ready for public" but are missing a lot of testing and additional capabilities. (this was being worked when i left)
