Pros

Unlimited PTO (although there are people who borderline abuse this )

Cons

C-suite really needs to get it together. It's exhausting having to constantly be put through multiple restructures, only to fail again. They have one major client that pays the bills and now that client has also pulled back on services leading to ANOTHER (3rd or 4th) round of layoffs. I genuinely believe that they think they are making the right decisions, but when this happens 3 or 4 times you just know they are clueless. I personally feel that there are favorite employees who can get away with anything and everything, whereas, others are just gone. Direct manager don't actually train- they show some slides and expect you to remember everything. If you ask for help or more training on a topic, you are reminded that they have already given you training and it's expected for you to pick up things quicker. I don't see them in business 5 years from today. Take a hint people- all the reviews say the same thing..

Pros

I know the recent string of reviews paint a bad picture, but keep in mind the company executed layoffs so what should we expect to see here? I was laid off in 2024 and never left a review, but after seeing the recent feedback I felt like it was time to provide a cooled-off perspective. Overall, my experience while with SMS (for a few years) was very positive. I've worked a few other places and can say confidently that SMS made a real effort to prioritize employee well-being. The weirdest thing about these recent reviews is that while actually employed here, I rarely heard people complain about the employee experience. A few things of note that I liked: - Unlimited PTO (it's legitimate and probably even overused) - Peer-to-peer rewards system - Certification bonuses - Remote work (they gave out remote work stipends)

Cons

- Performance. The company just hasn't performed in a long time so obviously business is suffering. - Accountability. Too many team members abused remote work and it was frustrating to have some people contribute significantly more to performance than others. - Leadership team. The CEO was just about never heard from and this always felt weird to me, especially as business was struggling. Makes it hard to truly trust what they're doing at all times.
