Pros

-Events (bbqs, dog walks, beer cart) -bring dog to work -great young culture -great supportive team -great experience for entry-level hire out of school - get to be part of lots of projects -ppl a lot of fun to work with.

Cons

-too much change with management (not the same culture anymore). -Management plays the blame game and doesn't listen to input/suggestions -too much turnover -doesn't follow values/unethical - say they're about the people but then don't provide any coaching on performance & instead do massive layoffs/terminations (without cause), layoff ppl on maternity leave -pay/benefits is low, doesn't pay carryover vacation and doesn't carry vacation over to next year, long hours & doesn't pay overtime

Pros

Remote work Recently acquired by WWT

Cons

What they tell you the role is definitely is NOT what it is. How they deceive you into taking this role is unethical. They promise you inbound and warm leads and claim to be the preferred AWS Partner but AWS doesn't want to deal with us at all because we don't have the technical staff qualified to support their customers. When we acquire AWS customers they wind up having a bad experience and Softchoice has a really bad reputation internally at AWS. They target ex AWS employees because they are already certified & they already have contacts. Meanwhile all the managers are not even certified, which means they don't know the content and can't talk with AWS Leaders effectively. There's favoritism so some people are forced to call nonstop and send emails but the people with sales don't do that. To cover it up, they just started having those people make calls but several months of records tell a different story. Management is extremely inexperienced and underpaid so they have side businessss and podcasts.
