Pros

Easy to get a job Silly, meaningless 'benefits' like free food and 'get a free beer on some fridays' which are sold as "great company culture". Only fools fall for this sort of rhetoric. If you're desperate, get a job here, but you won't be content with the work you do

Cons

Softchoice was an unauthentic company at its core in my opinion. They make value claims, like "we care about our people", but when the push comes to shove, they are like every other corporation. They're a sales driven organization. They don't need people who are creative and can think, they are looking for cogs in a wheel. They need people who can execute commands. Some management (sales training *cough cough*) is highly intolerant to new perspectives and views questions as threatening. Sorry folks, but that's not healthy for learning. Don't fall for their nonsense or excuses, use your common sense. Use your head. Some of the managers have a great way of putting a spin on things. These guys are high on something and like to preach the world through rose-colored glasses.

Pros

Remote work Recently acquired by WWT

Cons

What they tell you the role is definitely is NOT what it is. How they deceive you into taking this role is unethical. They promise you inbound and warm leads and claim to be the preferred AWS Partner but AWS doesn't want to deal with us at all because we don't have the technical staff qualified to support their customers. When we acquire AWS customers they wind up having a bad experience and Softchoice has a really bad reputation internally at AWS. They target ex AWS employees because they are already certified & they already have contacts. Meanwhile all the managers are not even certified, which means they don't know the content and can't talk with AWS Leaders effectively. There's favoritism so some people are forced to call nonstop and send emails but the people with sales don't do that. To cover it up, they just started having those people make calls but several months of records tell a different story. Management is extremely inexperienced and underpaid so they have side businessss and podcasts.
