Pros

Ability to learn about server hardware

Cons

Company cares about quantity over quality. The managers rarely know how servers work or how the tools your forced to use work. At the end of the day, your just a number. So if you take any extra responsibilities or train other techs to help your team grow, it’s not tracked in the system and reflects you as a bad technician. The systems reflect work done, but does not accurately reflect quality work that does not return or lead or to follow up work. Your rewarded for playing the system and not doing the job correctly. I recommend going somewhere else.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
