Autodidacts rejoice - Systems Administrator New York Internet Employee Review

Working at NYI was a good experience. The work was interesting and challenging and my coworkers were mostly awesome. NYI had a great custom tailored in-house customer management system which was an extremely useful tool for every admin.

The datacenter is staffed 24/7 and working overnight was always a challenge. NYI needs a solid employee development plan, there was no structure to on the job training. Aside from that, I did learn quite a bit working on diverse systems. Pay was low and I moved on in my career.

Nothing worth mentioning really. They mostly hire immigrants who cannot find another job.If this is your first job in IT you can pick up on some of the basic knowledge but you should leave after your first year.

Pay is very low. You should expect to earn $14-16/hr. No overtime. Management and Human Resources doesn't care about their staff. You will be dealing with hardware replacement for the most part, very little exposure to system administration. Your manager will be absent 4 days out the week, and when he's there you won't hear much from him. Don't expect a decent raise. Bonuses are not worth waiting for either. HR does their best each year to pick the worst (cheapest) benefit plan. For the most part you'll be doing work similar to a janitor. You can expect to throw out trash, wipe coffee off of the floor, exterminate stink bugs, wash floors, etc. Also, during summer, their cooling system doesn't work, so they rotate people to spray water out of a hose onto their A/Cs till the temperatures cool down. Like I said, there's very little room to learn anything to do with your field. I will invite more ex coworkers to give a review as well. Thank you glassdoor for letting us share!
