* I recommend avoiding this company* - Recensione dipendente - System Engineer presso Netstandard

The reason why I decided to make the move to NetStandard: I asked some of the current employees the simple question - Are you happy here at NetStandard? The employees I asked said nothing but great things about the CEO & President, the Senior Leadership team and fellow coworkers. The honesty I received was more than enough to make the switch to NetStandard.

This is a competitive market - but the owners want to win more than the other companies that are not from KC

Netstandard offers decent benefits. Pretty okay health coverage for its size. Okay work-life balance. Easy to take PTO. The retirement plan fully vests the company match after three years. Parking was free for the office unlike other Kansas City offices. Scheduled remote work days were allowed. Manager was accommodating with adjusted start times for school drop-offs.

The company consistently loses younger help desk staff and engineers due to a lack of proper training and system documentation, often throwing new hires in without support. Management openly criticizes employees’ personal lives and skill levels out loud, in the office. Client documentation is minimal to nonexistent, as employees fear losing their jobs. Heavy-ish work load depending on how many clients. The fractional HR function is largely ineffective and offers little support. If you take PTO while on-call, there is a real risk that your manager will fail to inform the help desk and they'll constantly call you. As staff leave and open positions remain unfilled, on-call rotations become MUCH more frequent. Performance reviews appear to be performative and passive aggressive. You will get very little value from these if your manager decides to actually do them. Volatile office politics contribute to an unstable and stressful work environment.
