Pros
Friendly coworkers. Decent benefits such as $500 credit towards things like gym membership, nutrition programs or athletic gear. Company is entirely remote based so no in office requirements which is pretty cool.
Kontras
Little to no structure and accountability for training new staff. You’re pretty much on your own or hope a coworker is willing to work with you because leadership is too busy doing God knows what in their ‘all day meetings.’ Documentation for team processes is horrible and not kept current. Executive leadership is detached and self serving. Reckless decision making cost the organization its $40+ million dollar contract with the federal government. Executive leadership lacks the industry experience to lead CIS into a profitable future. The company is basically going to have to shrink to survive under the current regime. There are no growth opportunities. Promotion rarely happen and if you do you’re workload is likely to remain the same while true all start employees stay stagnet and get piles of more and more workload loaded into them because teams have many employees that lack experience to create a meaningful impact on their teams. Some teams are fortunate to work on meaningful work while other teams are doing god knows what because multiple teams are doing the same jobs yet nobody knows who does what when asked but when you dig into it there are often 2, 3 or more people dedicated to the same job function. Meaning one person is doing the job, someone helps may be helping and a third is basically coasting by getting paid good money to do essentially nothing. This toxic behavior causes some teams to be drastically underfunded and other teams to be gloated. There is a heavy amount of turnover among teams. Good people leave voluntarily or a just pushed out because senior leadership can’t stomach the idea the folks in lower roles are more skilled and more experienced than they are and this creates a bitterness and toxicity in the air that is very easily noticed. ‘Growth’ is disguised as budget cuts and layoffs. This is what pays for raises, promotions and bonuses. Soon more layoffs and more budget cuts will be needed for more raises, promotions, and more executives to help cover for other executive that are inept. Their is no growth here anymore. Just noble mission clouded by the idea that SLTTs are going to start paying for services that they were essentially getting for free. Good luck with that. Especially since now competitors are quickly pivoting making better services and market solutions are much lower price points than CIS can afford to offer. The company is very top heavy and continues to get more top heavy after each ‘layoff’ and ‘budget cut.’
