Pros

Compensation is good in some roles, mainly management roles. Work with some of the larger IT companies.

Cons

Little or not career opportunities. Vast Majority of their business is with one client - eggs in a single basket. They couldn't careless about their employees, main role they offer is Equipment Maintenance Technician (EMT) and they are often referred to as 'box openers' by management, as unpacking hardware is one of their primary tasks. Their HQ is Santa Clara is an case study in inefficiency, 'how not to do things'. They have little or not processes for anything, and fumble from task to task with zero transparency. Requests go into the black-hole and sometimes appear on the other side. Culture and Values are in an acronym called PACE - most staff wouldn't know what the letters stand for.

Pros

If you are at the start of your IT career and have never seen or touched network equipment. This is the right place for you.

Cons

If you have 5+ years of IT experience and a college degree with computer certificates, you will be bored. If you are the type of person that wants to stay settled and wanting to be home, stay away. The fact that you will be having to pay up front $500 to $1000 on any travel expenses like food, rental car, gas, uber to and from the airport. This job is not for you. Within 1 month, I was able to figure out how to be alot more efficient on doing these audits and the migration projects, but was quickly shutdown by the typical India mentallity. I would say stay away from the company as India does NOT know how to plan correctly or even how to troubleshoot. Why are companies promoting India
