Pros

Nice modern building in city centre. Nice roof top terrace. Nice foyer and front desk. Advantageous for the work life balance. Nice meeting rooms and library. There is room in there to take calls. Very good sports and social committee.

Cons

In my department, poor processes. Poor management. Poor quality documentation produced. Poor training. Poor support. Centralised production for cost saving but little else. Not information development in a known professional sense. Reminiscent of a large outsourcing operation in the third world.

Pros

Excellent office culture...we have each other's back and everyone is there for each other on the quest to provide the best customer experience. We bring a, "whatever it takes" mentality to our workday. Best part of our job is our work family.

Cons

High pressure industry that must be managed daily. We save lives! That brings a heavy responsibility to what we do and means we must remain focused at all times.

Pros

Decent pay, good PTO and benefits

Cons

Everything else. ZERO training. They hand you a laptop (which is garbage) and say good luck. There is no "team." Everyone is on their own. The senior techs all reached their peak 20 years ago and don't even know what BACnet is. The bureaucracy is unbearable. Ordering a simple part is nearly impossible. There are so many apps you have to check in on everyday and they care more about those metrics than they care about the service their customers are receiving. If you want to get your butt kicked everyday with zero support at a company that specializes in taking advantage of their customers, this is the job for you.
