Pros

The company is evolving from a "growth" company to a "life-style" company. While serving our clients and acquiring new ones is key to the survival of any company, there is a serious focus on the employee's well being. Employees are pushed to gain new skills, maintain their health, and mind set. The company really is an extended family that spans the US, and reaches off-shore as well. The health plan is a "cadillac" plan. I've not spent over $50 for anything so far. The pace of technical change is radical. Most MSP's have employees crawling under desks, swapping hardware and eating dust, while a remote engineer does all the technical work. Here employees are encouraged to utilize automation and external resources to deal with mass deployments. Employees are encouraged to NOT work long hours, and to reach out to external resources to expedite projects and issue resolution. Training during working hours is available, many learning resources are made available to the employees. I've seen Level 1 technicians move from basic point and click mouse jockeys to Level 3 Project managers and Senior Engineers / Developers in a very short time. The job and future are what you make it, and where you wish to take it.

Cons

The company is an extended family, this makes the hiring process difficult. All new employees get interviewed by the team, the standards for written and oral communication are HIGH, the standards for integrity are HIGH, self-starting is required. Self training is required. If you are looking for a 9-5, put in your time and go home, this is NOT the place for you. Management regularly puts in 60-80 hours per week, and after hours training / development / team product development do occur.

Pros

The fact that people like Raj exists means that to ever evil there has to be some good.

Cons

I interviewed for this company a while ago and one of the things that I remember was Raj, the CEO, had his assistant on the line. I found this rather peculiar and wondered why that was. Lo and behold, he had her on the line due to a loophole in the record a conversation in NY. This guy is smart which is dangerous for a sociopath. He proceeded to ask me personal questions like my age and what I have done. Big red flags! This was the icing on the cake, he kept downplaying my experience but the fact of the matter is, if his assistant had bothered to check my resume, he would have known I was "green" to the world of IT. The only purpose of this interview was to serve as a massive stroke to his ego. As an employee, I should not have to beg for a job in this massive job market and subject myself to a low number that was offered to me by his assistant. I did my research Raj, that's where I got my number from!
