Avoid - Anonymous employee Wecom Employee Review

It a great home as has a small community vibe to it . I haven't worked anywhere besides my previous employer, so my point of reference may not be ideal. But what I can say overall it was very decent. PTO is respected, managerial interactions are civil and fair, and its a relaxed environment overall . Personally for me, it was a bumpy road due to the circumstances while there due to losing our NOC manager & feeling lost where I was going with my career. so I was in a depressive state, not able to see it in the moment. This organization has recently pivoted to the ISP broadband space, so it is still in a start-up mindset and still maturing. That can be good or bad depending on your goals. Personally, I had ambitions to wait until they needed extra hands in the data center to get into the network engineering department. If any place could utilize my rather unusual background, it would be theirs. I think the network director even offered a chance to be a Linux administrator, which, after I had finally my coming to Jesus moment should have asked if he still needed help there in hindsight. It sad to be let go, but even during this phase I was treated extremely well & looked after. So it show the type of small haven Wecom Fiber is if your looking for better place to spend the next 8 hours of your day at.

I'd advise patience from my experience as it turn out it actually was temporary. Wecom Fiber is still maturing, so you may be given different responsibilities that may not been originally expected from your background. Again, base on your goals it can be a blessing; Just keep in mind their was a couples months NOC did dispatch until a dedicated dispatcher was promoted to the position.

Pay can be decent depending on position.

Yikes. Teams have no idea how to work together and that’s because leadership is poor across the board. Install teams not in sync Network teams, who are not in sync with Sales teams, who are not in sync with Finance… it’s a disaster. For such a small company they couldn’t care less about their employees. Upper management takes a “hands off” approach to management, so middle management pretty much does whatever they want with no consequences or recourse. It’s a start-up masquerading as a 50-year old company, so there is very much an “all hands on deck” type of approach to things that doesn’t apply to all departments. No accountability system, no actionable goal setting, no year-end reviews.
