Pros

Working in Managed Services, the Program Management provided the opportunity to work with a wide variety of customers including travel and fair salaries but few raises.

Cons

Work life balance was very challenging. Senior management required nights, weekends and most of the time, over 80 hrs a week was expected. There were some weeks that 90-100 hrs were worked with very little appreciation or kind words.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
