Pros
The people working at InTech are extremely hard workers and great human beings. Each person brings a great work ethic, kind personality, and optimism. You will be busy every minute of your day (or you are not helping your team!) They believe in a work-life balance unlike most employers. At the beginning of each week, you will refocus on priorities and remember principles that unite the team. They believe in meaningful work and meaningful relationships. They care about the people more than dollars attached. This team is full of brilliant people working daily to better themselves and help their clients. They overlook many shortcomings and focus on growth, not past failures.
Kontras
Most everything in the GlassDoor article about "companies you should never work for" (1, 3, 4, 5, 6): Many meaningful relationships that have been forged previously cause overlooking of new. (other reviews correctly stated as favoritism) I showed several examples of a leader changing dates and other records (audit trails, reports, and metrics showing stated "truths" were blatant lies). Each instance was rare, and overshadowed because this employee is productive and provides quality work. This willingness to hurt another and cover your own tracks is not tolerable in a leader to me. It is accepted as a whole in this company's leadership at the expense of new employees. I respect allowing people to grow and overlooking small mistakes. But overlooking a sabotage trend and complete refusal to even talk about the issue is acceptance of recurrence. New people are not allowed to say "it was an accident" yet the 4 leaders are allowed to evade finding a root cause or ever even apologizing for poor actions. I asked for sabotage to be addressed and discrimination to end. I was told I am not aligned with company principles. It is so easy to justify inappropriate actions in small cult-groups. NUMBERS DON'T LIE: Friendship is important, but willingness to ruin 4 people's lives in less than 10 months is a number that proves stronger than the sales pitch from those drinking the KoolAid. There are 5 total employees who have been there more than 1 year. I have seen 4 fired or quit in the last year. That's a 20% chance of success last year - and 0% in the full-time IT related positions. Wow right?! Work from home - at hire this is pitched like it is a daily option. In reality, its something you or a loved one have to be deathly ill to receive. Time off will count against your vacation days. InTech's great people with true integrity greatly outweigh one. I would even tell you that this one is extremely productive there. She is truly skilled and tries really hard to help the company. Just, sometimes, the stress causes an inappropriate action at other's expense, tears to end a conversation, and rocks from a glass house. I say forgive but don't tolerate. The CEO is an inspiring amazing person. She has too many things to do and forgets to lead all her teammates relying on a skewed word of mouth from others. Some recent choices show a blindness that I hope and trust will be overcome. I still believe this is a good place to work and I know that it will be great someday if they focus on growing character, specifically addressing known flaws.
