Pros

My three years at Myriad were some of the best in my professional career. The CEO Andy Fisher is creative with a real vision of where Myriad is heading and truly cares about every employee. Any member of leadership was always willing to help in any way possible to ensure nothing but success from their teams. My onboarding and training process was seamless. Highly certified engineers and sales engineers made this... possible, the training classes were invaluable as the knowledge I learned propelled my career from the very beginning. Myriad does something a lot of companies don't, they invest in their employees. Exceptional Benefits, unlimited PTO/work from home was a perfect combination for maintaining a healthy work/life balance. In the last year, Myriad brought on some of the top qualified security architects and project managers which is all part of the CEO's vision of becoming one of the top respected IT consultancy companies. If you are looking to excel in your career and know you are respected and not just another employee then Myriad is my number one choice.

Cons

No real Cons, Myriad expects everyone to be an "A" player. Someone who is driven to succeed, willing to make the sacrifices it takes to better themselves. Stepping out of your comfort zone to promote growth is what is expected. This is the tone that thriving companies look for, Myriad has the resources to make this happen. If you don't share this same mentality then that is the only reason I would say Myriad isn't... the right fit for you.

Pros

The work environment is very comfortable; extremely casual dress code, flexible work schedule and snacks. The company is constantly evolving (may be seen as a negative) which provides more autonomy within your role. Myriad is focused on great customer experience, as such client events are amazing. Additionally, internal events really cater to increasing morale. The CEO and leadership team are always open to hearing... your feedback and ideas. The work environment is fun; you can always laugh with your coworkers.

Cons

Myriad provides great customer service and top of the line products. However, internal operations will lead the company to failure. Myriad focuses on recruiting "A-Players" however they lack the resources and growth opportunities to keep smart talent challenged and satisfied in their careers. Myriad's 5 Core Values are used to evaluate performance (which is good in theory) however management does not hold themselves... to the same standards. Weak talent is often promoted. Too many people hold higher titles of manger or VP; there is no evidence that thier role is contributing to any positive value or change within the company. The company caters to a few top salesmen, everyone else is disposable and irrelevant. Fear of retaliation for negative feedback and glassdoor reviews.

Advice to Management

What's the point of recruiting A-Players just to have incompetent and weak management coach them?

Pros

I started working for Myriad part-time, when we were at 10 West 18th St. When I first started I just I just considered it a job, keep my head down, do what you’re told and don’t make any waves. I kept to that mindset even after the company moved to 22 West 19th St. One day I came in and my supervisor told me to go with the CEO and CFO of the company on a trip to the Google building to remove some used Cisco... equipment from a rack. My first thought was…You sure you want me to go? The reason I asked that. I’ve had conversations with the CFO on a few occasions, but never with the CEO. So, to tell you the truth I was nerves. When we all met up at the elevator to head over, The CEO looked at me and said my name, greeted me very warmly and told me he’s heard good things about me and he’s glad to have me at Myriad. I was stunned that he knew my name and he took the time to make me feel at ease. When we got to the Google building he even explained a few things to me about the company and why we were there. The reason I’m writing this is to say. I’ve had quite a few jobs in my life and I’ve never felt so at home as I do at Myriad, my opinions matter to management and even to the top brass. This company to me is the best place to work in NYC and there should be one in every city

Cons

Pros

I worked at Myriad for about a year and learned a TON! The people and the energy at Myriad is why it is such a special place to learn, grow, and become successful in the robust world of IT. Those at Myriad are highly intelligent and skilled; it was an inspiring place to work. The leadership team helps to develop skills and strengths so that you will be an asset to your clients, to the company, and to yourself. ... Leadership listens to your concerns and considers everyone's input. Leadership is open to change and constantly improving. Myriad abides by a set of core values that most companies do not consider and it is truly a valuable environment for developing skills and leadership qualities. (Unlimited PTO is a plus)

Cons

Myriad is also growing at a rapid rate. Change can be hard to adapt to, but is essential in the IT world.

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work!

Pros

At Myriad we're fortunate to have amazing people, working on interesting projects, using the latest technologies. If you’re someone that works hard, takes initiative, embraces change, thirsts for knowledge, and strives to find new ways to work more efficiently, Myriad is a company that will recognize and reward you for your passion and contribution. Pay, benefits (parental leave and unlimited PTO), and support for... ongoing professional development are all great.

Cons

The speed of innovation in the technology space is breakneck. To remain relevant both people and companies need to be ahead of the curve or risk obsolescence. The demands this reality creates aren’t for everyone and Myriad isn’t a company where doing the bare minimum is acceptable. This is a good thing in my opinion.

Advice to Management

Great companies are made up of great people. Focus on hiring team members that raise the bar for those around them. Fail fast.

Pros

+ Great co-workers. Interesting, smart and quirky bunch. I really enjoyed working with everyone at Myriad. + Good place to start if you want to get into tech sales or learn more about IT industry. + Nice culture + Some ok perks - bagel days, occasional meals, great holiday parties.

Cons

+ Upper/ middle management and general lack of strategy and cohesion with teams. Lot's of talk about methodologies, however practical application was lacking. Which made for tons of busy work. + Comp plans and metrics changed frequently. (no bueno) + Too many processes that slowed down productivity. Be prepared to have a daily meeting, weekly meeting, and 1:1 meeting with your manager. Meetings. Meetings.... Meetings. Also be prepared to document every activity. + Steep learning curve if you are not familiar with IT solutions.

Advice to Management

+ Peel back the layers and focus on 'practical applications' and execution. + Less focus on meetings, committees and boards and more focus on driving business (SALES). + Get a standard comp package and stick with it and truly invest in your talent.

Pros

Clear objectives and vision. Collaborative culture.

Cons

Internal processes and tools should be improved
