Pros
- One of the only tech jobs in NJ. - You can learn a lot about the Storage industry which is valuable. - Despite working there being abysmal at best, the company is still doing well, no idea how.
Kontras
- Horrible management, or lack there of. There used to be good management, but they all left because they no longer wanted to work there. - Arbitrary procedures and practices. - Arbitrary hiring practices. - If you are good at your job, they will do everything they can NOT to promote you so that you stay in the role they want you in. - On the other hand, if you are bad , they will promote you into a supervisory role just to get you out of there. - They bonus supervisors on their team's performance. No bonus' to individual contributors. - Compensation is all over the place. Some people make 100K + Some make 30K, doing the same job! - Higher ups like the CEO and others have no visibility into the inner workings of the company. They do not visit engineering or support. - Engineering is very segmented from support. Engineers are trained to be annoyed with escalations and not share their knowledge. - In order to address the growing need for 24x7 coverage they paid one employee 15K a year to just be on-call always. This, of course, is much cheaper than actually hiring 24x7 coverage. - Nepotism runs rampant. People are promoted and hired based on nothing other than whom they know.
