Pros

Solid health insurance options and retirement savings plan (6% contribution) WFH policies are reasonable and respected

Cons

Strategic/Vision problems: No clear strategic direction - Acquires companies like LogicWorks but fails to commit resources needed to scale them properly "Everything to everyone" mentality - Leadership spreads organization too thin across multiple service lines without focus or prioritization Acquisition integration failures - Buys companies for their expertise, then underinvests in the very capabilities they acquired Short-term thinking over long-term investment - Won't allocate resources needed to build sustainable hyperscale business despite market opportunity Leadership lacks strategic focus - tries to be everything for everyone rather than excelling in core areas Acquired LogicWorks to strengthen AWS and GPC capabilities but won't invest resources needed to scale hyperscale business Frustrating for talented employees who want to execute but can't get leadership support

Pros

From day one I was treated as a real contributor rather than just an intern. I had genuine hands-on exposure to enterprise cloud environments supporting actual clients across Microsoft 365, Citrix VDI, VMware vCloud Director, and Mimecast. The opportunity to lead a knowledge base quality assurance project for a company-wide ServiceNow migration was a career highlight. Several colleagues were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in my growth. The work is meaningful and the technology stack is impressive.

Cons

Manager engagement with interns was inconsistent. Communication around intern performance, expectations, and potential full time opportunities could be more structured and transparent throughout the program rather than only at the end. Interns are left to figure out their standing largely on their own which can be stressful especially when the internship is coming to a close.
