Pros

It's a job. There are some great people to work with. Unfortunately they don't outnumber those who are not. Peers claim the benefits are great. My experience, I don't think so. It's a large company so it's easy to be lost if you're someone who abhors notice or spotlight. If you are easily satisfied or like to drift by in the anonymity of a large corporation this is the job for you.

Cons

Stagnant pay. Bonus... not anymore. Training, that's gone too. Performance completely unrecognized. Management responsibility is thrust on the employee as if it's a privilege to do their work. Expectation is that you're on call 24x7 and because you have no life you can go where they point at a moments notice. If you as an employee don't have enough resources or time to complete your work well that must be a fault of the employee not management.

Pros

The data center work itself was interesting and there were opportunities to gain exposure to large-scale projects. Some coworkers on-site were supportive and hardworking.

Cons

Leadership and communication were extremely inconsistent. There was little structure, minimal training, and employees often felt like they were expected to figure things out on their own without proper support or mentorship. Workloads and expectations changed constantly depending on who you spoke to. The company talks about growth, but many employees are underutilized or not actually developed professionally. It often felt more reactive than organized, especially from upper management. Decisions were made with very little transparency, and morale suffered because of it. There was also a noticeable disconnect between corporate leadership and the realities of what was happening on-site. Many employees felt expendable rather than valued.
