Pros

First and second-tier managers are good. They try to communicate issues up and down and generally have excellent technical and management ability. Some true leaders in the organization try to shield the masses from the senior management Benny Hill episode and do their best for their team and the company. However, they are generally short-lived because the lack of commitment from senior leaders to make anything better is palpable.

Cons

Unfortunately, those leaders will most likely never recognize their potential at Vertiv. Decisions are made in the company in a complete knee-jerk vacuum. They have an ethics policy that only applies to the pee-ons since family members in senior leadership positions report to each other. I wonder how they square that up with the things they wrote in the "company handbook". The company has a philosophy of just buying stuff and not investing in people. They have millions of dollars in software licenses and hardware devices sitting on shelves for years, but you can't get a backfill for someone who leaves because they are working 75 hours a week because they took over the duties of the last person that left.

Pros

Ability to position your ideas to leadership and have your voice heard.

Cons

The industry is growing at a torrid pace and urgency is key - this means that customer expectations for responses are immediate and with a large company, sometimes it can take a while to get the correct answer.

Pros

The people on my team and the teams we worked with are talented, smart, and collaborative. Probably the best team I’ve ever worked on, and both of the managers I had were wonderful! Generous benefits. Nice environment.

Cons

Upper management, VP and C-suite level treat employees, especially IT infrastructure and support employees, like lower-class citizens. The demand to do more, faster, and better is constant, and everyone is burnt out and demoralized. It keeps getting worse. There are more and more projects getting piled on IT every day, but they don’t hire the people who are needed. You feel overwhelmed constantly and there is always a new urgent thing. It’s very draining.
