Pros

Talented dedicated people doing great work. Great mission - sustainability, life safety - things really to believe in and admire. Teamwork and respect within my group. Really interesting work.

Cons

Constant cuts in budgets and staffing. Budgets usually did not make it past the first month of the fiscal year. Perpetual layoffs and instability with workload devolving upon those left - people are typically covering 2-3 jobs and most teams I worked with were cut by at least half within the last year. Restructure / reorgs are constant, literally. Org never settles long enough between changes to find a groove. As a result of the cuts and pressure, manufacturing, delivery, quality and service delivery were all suffering. I saw very low morale and a sense of powerlessness across the global teams I interacted with. People I knew felt that performance is irrelevant and you'll be dropped at any moment to meet a number no matter how good you are or how much work you were covering.

Pros

Excellent office culture...we have each other's back and everyone is there for each other on the quest to provide the best customer experience. We bring a, "whatever it takes" mentality to our workday. Best part of our job is our work family.

Cons

High pressure industry that must be managed daily. We save lives! That brings a heavy responsibility to what we do and means we must remain focused at all times.

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
