Good experience - Solutions Engineer Switch Automation Employee Review

Switch Automation is by far one of the best places I have ever worked. I can really tell I love my job when I look forward to showing up everyday. The work is not only challenging, but fun and they have allowed me learn and engage in so many different aspects of the organization. The people and culture are great! My piers and leaders are always willing to help, passionate and care immensely about what they are doing. It is empowering to work with people who are so committed to what Switch is trying to accomplish.

Normal growing pains of a small company working to mature and grow.

You’ll be thrown in the deep end. If you’re a go-getter and self motivated, there’s a lot to learn and plenty of space to grow. The market will be disrupted by this tech, it’s only a matter of time. Pay was above average and solid benefits.

Super complicated industry experiencing a lot of competition on the supply yet little demand from the market. Leadership failed to take input from customers and team members to adjust product roadmap accordingly. The company is spread out across the globe (SF, Denver, Sydney, Lviv, Manila). Found it extremely difficult to communicate with key team members when timelines are tight because there’s only a couple hours of overlap between US and AUS headquarters. This made my job very difficult. Leadership made several knee jerk decisions that didn’t seem very well thought throug, to my entire team, including questionable staffing decisions, many changes in strategy and awkward communications with customers.
