Bay Computing reviews

There’s an emphasis on teamwork and collaboration in this office and with that they also have a fully open office layout. It’s nice having easy access to everyone, from the engineers to the Level 1 techs, and whenever you’re having any issues or ask a question about a client’s environment the team is all over it and ready to help (sometimes even more help than you would know what to do with… which is great but can be a bit overwhelming right off the bat) Besides not having to deal with cubicles and ugly grey mini-walls, a side bonus of the open layout is the awesome views we get from the top floor (especially of the sunsets now that daylight savings time is gone) More BBQ Please! Every so often we do office-wide team building activities and it’s nice to take a short break to dig into some good food and get a little silly with your coworkers, especially now that we’re branching out from pizza and getting the good stuff brought in… Depending on what your job responsibilities are- if you can make the argument for how it will benefit the company and improve your skills in serving customers, you can pursue certifications through the company, and have those ridiculously expensive test fees covered- which is a game-changer when going after those career builders. I have to say one of my favorite things has been getting to know all of the unusual hobbies that my teammates have! Didn’t even know that boar hunting was a real thing and have been really surprised how many urban farmers we have in the office (loving getting free zucchinis and peppers at work) Throw in a few photographers, golfers and even a dragon boat racer and you start to get the picture… Oh… And Marvel… SO much Marvel… ALL the Marvel- The whole office was counting down the week Captain America: Winter Soldier came out. Anytime a new Marvel or DC movie get announced or a trailer is released, you know what the lunchtime conversation’s gonna be. I think they were talking about having everyone go see Winter Soldier together as the spring team building activity but decided not to when too many techs were seeing it at midnight.

I’ve had a long tenured IT career, worked both in large and small companies and I’ve worked domestically and internationally. Bay Computing Group (BCG) is by far the smallest company I’ve joined and yet immediately after starting, I was pleasantly surprised to be offered some value added perks that larger companies tend to ignore. Within the first week of employment, I was provided free VIP monthly parking below our office building, a new PC/Tablet, an iPhone, a very sweet desk environment including four large monitors and in-house technical training. During that same week, there was also a company team building event including dinner, a team lunch and a recognition ceremony for a long term employee. What an impressive first week! Within a few months, BCG extended additional benefits to all full time employees and they even offered a few VIP perks to part time employees. That was over a year ago and I am still here. This is a good company and the owner/CEO is a great person to work with. He has an in depth knowledge of the IT industry, stays on the cutting edge and he knows the details of what’s going on within his company and with the clients. Not only does he sincerely listen to employee suggestions and concerns, but he makes prompt decisions and executes them. The same goes for client feedback and there are continuous efforts made to improve client services. BCG is a professional organization, provides excellent IT services, staffed with educated and courteous resources and one of the best places to work in the East Bay.
