Pros

Being part of the worst layoff process I realized, I'm glad I won't have to work with Boingo's HR team ever again.

Cons

worked for 3 years and 50 weeks...2 weeks/10 work days short of an "actual" year according to Boingo. When I was let go along with 80 other teammates, Boingo offered two weeks severance for each year worked for the company. BUT...because I worked for 50 weeks my last year, 2 weeks/10 days technically short of a year, I didn't get my severance for my last year. I was not offered a prorated, or a partial payment for that 50 weeks that I killed myself working for Boingo. I got $0 for 50 weeks of work in my 4th year. I was only paid severance for 3 years of work. They laid us off the week before Christmas holidays, squeezed everything out of us before the layoffs, and didn't care about the work we did if it didn't technically measure up to a year. What a terrible HR department. They could have provided a prorated severance for my 4th year. This is just one the examples of how awful the decisions that the Boingo HR department makes every single day. Boingo HR upset every person who got laid off, and while layoffs are always hard, they don't have to be brutal. Boingo HR mis handled the layoffs; It was a masterclass in unprofessionalism in HR. Boingo HR is just bad. Full stop. It's well known inside and outside of the company that the HR at Boingo is terrible.

Pros

Great reputation and history of numerous large scale carrier funded DAS and Wi-Fi deployments

Cons

Cold calling and business development is heavily measured rather than strategically aligning with partners. Leads are scarce, so prospecting dominates rather than being in front of a customer and closing. Marketing is exceptional but their message lacks a clear understanding of customer needs or the technical attributes of In building wireless. Chat GPT is over utilized and 30 page PowerPoint presentations are used for proposals. Little to no input from sales. Turnover is extremely high, from upper management down to sales. Ethics is marginal. Hierarchy rather than a team approach is used to manage the teams. Boing's pricing is not competitive.
