Pros

Supplied work clothes. Compressed schedule. 3-4 day work weeks.

Cons

They are not forthcoming with expectations in the interview. Job responsibilities in actuality were being a janitor/plumber/electrician/mechanic with too much janitor work. Taking out trash/sweeping/mopping. The onboarding was a joke, I did not meet my manager for the first few days. They made it clear from the beginning you do not matter to them. Management makes the job way too difficult for what it really is. They think it is fast paced and it is not. Sink or swim attitude from them. Was told by management they want you to be stressed. You are on your own for training. Management not open for innovative ideas for making the job easier. Toxic office environment and they blatantly tell you that you are in competition with the rest of your coworkers which leads to backstabbing. They tell you that you only have a few years in the EOT position and you must move up or move out. It is a good stepping stone to get into the data center industry. I quit to go to a different data center company and the culture difference is night and day. This is a last resort company to get in the data center roles!

Pros

* Flexible hours - you enter when you want and leave when you want as long you complete 8 hours of work; * There is a lot of cool technologies being created; * The payment is not bad; * You are able to express your opinions about the way a project is going;

Cons

* There is a strong sense of competiveness for high positions; * Your opinion is taken only if you insist to the point you are annoying - not because you are right; * The LPs are not followed and act more like a mask to show that the company strive to be the best for all workers; * The feeling of being "just a number" is strong as at any moment a project can be discarted and you are moved to a different project without your consent; * Too much bureaucracy for everything;

Pros

Great for your CV and future steps. Use as stepping stone if you can hack it

Cons

Toxic culture. Seen as a number. No empathic leadership, everyone’s race to get to the top and will stab each other in the back in doing so. Outdated ways of working and processes.
