N/A - Systems Administrator Next IT Employee Review

Good work/life balance Exciting product Good benefits Management is open to interaction

Poor mentorship For some reason, we've had a hard time recruiting experienced people so resources in some areas are a little overworked

In most positions you've got a lot of freedom to perform tasks however you want; management tends to be loose enough where just about everybody has quite a bit of freedom. The company solves hard problems and executives (at least recently) are open to hearing new ideas and approaches. The company has made an effort in the past year to be more open about resolving historical morale problems, which seem to be pretty well enumerated in older reviews on Glassdoor. The market Next IT works in is rapidly expanding, and because the company is so small a single person can make a significant impact. People generally seem to like each other (at least when they're working in the same department). Lax dress code, flexibility in working from home or working odd hours, tons of PTO if you stick around for 5+ years.

There are a few solid managers, but most people don't have strong leaders or mentors Lots of variability in pay/job satisfaction/career path/team cohesion across the company Lack of structure - if you're not ambitious, no one is going to push you along
