Avantages
Unlike most tech shops you can have a life outside work Exposure to "bare metal" of datacenter Opportunity to learn networking Weekly feedings Stable sector
Inconvénients
No 'real' new tech, client tech & practices a decade old, only thing new is linux updates. Close to zero advancement opportunity, only networking people crawl up slowly Pay is half industry average, so no serious support talent Hero-dependent culture, everything fails when heros leave Management subtly territorial, so new ideas end up dieing Only super cheap hired as support staff so co-workers will be dim Fear based blame culture, not all the time, but often enough Training? Ha! Just don't expect 'normal' tech industry stuff and you'll be happy Worker beware
