Pros

Co-workers were an absolute joy to work and be around; work environment was decent enough; decent work/life balance; very great vacation policy. It's a good place to start your IT career.

Cons

Well where shall I start? Well, let's start at the top. The current COO has fostered an environment of everyone against one another, and maximizing profits for the company at the expense of the well-being of those who generate the profit for them. Data Foundry use to have a sense of family and a motivating environment to learn and grow as a professional. However, that changed with the current guy in charge. It is now effectively a churn n burn operation, everyone is replaceable, no one is special. From there, pay is absolutely abysmal for 2019, it was great for 2014/15. However, this industry moves fast, and if you don't pay your workers their worth, good luck keeping them. I highly doubt they care about that though. Middle management has barely been a thing due to that position constantly being vacant, year-in and year-out. Good luck to the new guy is all I can say. Then the local/site management, well that depends on the department. I won't go into details, but, simply put, I couldn't trust my own management. I just simply clocked in, do my work, minimize my contact with management and went home. Anyway, come here for the experience, but do NOT stay there long(a year at max), get your certifications and move on. This place has become a shell of what it once was.

Work and live balance. Working directly with stakeholder.

Lack of communication across the department. I was not aware what's going on with the company until the end.
