Pros

Executive leadership is amazing. Weekly all-hands, are informative and fun. I really admire how they handled the whole Windows sensor debacle from July 19th 2024.

Cons

The current approach of TechOps leadership is characterized by excessive caution and slow decision-making. While prudence has its place in managing risk, the pendulum has swung too far—resulting in hesitation to address fundamental issues that directly impact operational stability and long-term scalability. Key Concerns - Reluctance to Address Core Challenges: There is a noticeable pattern of avoiding the most pressing technical and architectural problems. This reluctance creates the perception that leadership is unwilling—or unprepared—to confront the larger, more complex challenges that must be solved to ensure resilience. - Impact on Organizational Progress: By focusing narrowly on incremental improvements and day-to-day firefighting, the team is missing opportunities to drive transformative change. This cautious posture not only slows progress but also risks compounding technical debt and operational fragility. - Cultural Implications: Leadership’s hesitancy sets the tone for the broader organization. When technical leaders appear risk-averse or unwilling to champion bold initiatives, it discourages innovation and undermines confidence across teams

Pros

Remote work culture Is excellent, innovative tech, company's growth and opportunities to protect clients. Felt fortunate to have worked for this organization that has a strong growth tragectoruy and protects clients.

Cons

Manager/Director level: Poor communication from team manager/director, with little to no direction and the lack of team morale. Team members were on their own after training and most meetings could've been an email. The presence of the director was the equivalent of a virtual bulletin board. No ownership was taken from management to lead or guide the team and no sense of loyalty exists between management and team members. Good talent was squandered due to complacency and lack of direction. Company: Con for the company is the unfortunate lay offs that happened after leaving the company. It's a shame they laid off veterans from my former team. The writing on the wall was apparent, from outsourced new hires to the non-competitive compensation for newer hires. The company went from a fun and competitive start up to a disconnected company trying to emulate tech industry trends and "balances the budget" AKA lay offs, to look good to share holders. For a company that nets huge profits year after year, layoffs shouldn't be part of the reality.
