Pros

- The technology developed there is very cool and interesting to work with - Leaving there was the highlight of my time with this organization

Cons

- Toxic culture - Everything is closed door - Management picks their favorites and there's no movement unless you're one of them - Lots of lies fed to prospective employees to get them to leave their current employer only to let them go before the predetermined milestone dates - high employee turnover - If there wasnt why do I continually get notifications about the same positions there? - BIG promises of BIG compensation - Keep your expectations low low low. Chances are, you won't be there to enjoy any of it. - Cliquey departments

JSI Telecom Response
9y
I am very disappointed that your time at JSI was so terrible. If you are open to it, please reach out to me at rmack@jsitelecom.com as I would love to learn from what you experienced. If this helps, we did recently survey our employees. On the summary question: “I would recommend my manager to other employees”, 90 strongly agreed, 45 agreed, 6 were neutral, 3 disagreed and 2 strongly disagreed. I think those results are fairly good, but that still leaves 5 people at JSI who are not happy with their manager. Hopefully we can find ways to improve work for them; perhaps through manager coaching or maybe even with something as simple as a rotation onto a different team. To your point about employee turnover, over the last twelve months 4% of the people in Engineering resigned. Again, while I am generally happy with a 96% retention rate, we need to learn from everyone who leaves so that we can continuously improve. We have been doing a lot of hiring recently in order to grow, so that is probably why you have been seeing open positions for JSI. Thank you for your feedback. Sincerely, Randy Mack VP, Engineering
