Pros

Good salary level at start

Cons

No parental leave beyond FMLA for U.S. employees, and you cannot carry over vacation year-to-year, so you can't bank for parental leave or childcare emergencies. Extensive layoffs have created a vicious competitive environment, work-life balance is out the window, with remaining employees expected to take on the responsibilities of eliminated positions without additional pay. 60+ hour work weeks are common, weekends and evenings are not respected, with the expectation being 24-7 availability and responsiveness.

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
