Long response: Thank you for taking the time to write out a review. While you noted that you are a current employee, certain information in your post makes it clear that you departed around a year ago. As you stated, you can learn an lot in a short period of time. Our training program has really gained momentum and currently over 1/3 of our engineers have either gained or are working towards a new certification this year! It’s great to hear that you enjoyed not being micromanaged. The good news is, we have continued to evolve over the year since you left, and we are currently enjoying our best year yet as a company. Regarding the list of cons, here are some things to consider: -We indeed have lost some talented people over the last two years. And fortunately we had a big bench of talented engineers learning and growing…ready for their opportunity to step up. All across the company we have had employees promoted into positions that may have been opened. We have hired 20 people since late 2015 (not the 5-6 cited in the review), most of which are engineers, and we continue to add to our team! -We benchmark our pay every year. And every year we adjust to make sure we are paying market or above for all positions across Five Nines! -I appreciate the feedback regarding problem clients. We have come a long ways towards moving clients out of Five Nines that mistreat staff or circumvent our processes. This is one of those areas where clearly this is an employee that left over a year ago. -Regarding the critique of management, we will always be a work in progress. Our leadership team will constantly be working to get better. We survey staff, we meet with teams, and constantly work to make Five Nines a great place to work. I’m proud of the work our leadership team does! I’ve never seen them be passive aggressive, and politics is a somewhat foreign concept here. We don’t have time for any of that. We’re too busy focusing on how we can be the best at what we do. Finally, I remember 10 years ago one of our competitors loved to say that we would be closed in the next three years. I think they probably still say the same thing today. Of this I’m sure, in 3 years we will neither be closed, nor bought. We will continue to be the largest MSP in Nebraska, full of people focused on loving what they do and being the best at it. Nick Bock CEO and Cofounder
