Pros

Nice corporate office environment. Good benefits and adequate compensation. Good working conditions.

Cons

The IT leadership does not have the adequate experience and vision to run a midsize IT department in the 21st century. This has created a demoralized, directionless and largely inefficient department where the associates do not respect their leaders, where mediocrity is a common denominator, and where there is no opportunity for growth or advancement. The current IT managers add little value to the organization. They are out of touch with current technology and the tremendous value it can add to the company, if leveraged efficiently. They are also out of touch with the roles, responsibilities, skills and potential of the IT department employees. It is a few talented people at the bottom who actually make the department chug along, with all the obstacles and ambiguity they face as result of having almost no guidance. Most IT employees stay around just to get the paycheck and the company benefits.

Pros

I’ve had such a positive experience with Starboard. From the very beginning, the team has been welcoming, professional, and incredibly supportive. The environment feels collaborative, fast-paced, and genuinely motivating, and it’s clear that there’s a strong culture of growth and teamwork behind everything they do. What stood out to me most is how much care goes into both the employee and client experience. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been kind, knowledgeable, and willing to help, which makes such a difference when starting a new opportunity. I’m really excited to continue learning and growing with a company that values people, communication, and excellence the way Starboard does. Grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to what’s ahead!

Cons

The pace can definitely be fast at times, especially while learning new systems and processes, but it also creates a great opportunity for growth and development. There’s a lot to learn in the beginning, which can feel overwhelming at first, but the team is supportive and willing to help you succeed. Like any growing company, balancing multiple priorities is part of the experience, but it keeps the work dynamic and engaging.
