Pros
The founder of Softchoice and the culture he had embedded . Everyone who had the opportunity to work under him or near him was blessed with his wisdom and was my role model in everything I do. For everyone who complimented the "beer cart" and "bring your dog to work" all started with this one man. This was just the icing on the cake but the core ingredient was the culture he had created. This culture made working for Softchoice not work and I looked forward to working everyday. Not so much anymore when he departed the company.
Kontras
During my last 4 years out of 11 years i had worked for Softchoice, it felt like management no longer cared about the culture and its employees. It felt like Wall Street and all these Execs from major corporations taking over the jobs of guys who had heart and passion for the company. From there on it was just like a domino effect where the price of your education mattered more then your experience and loyalty.
