Vertiv

Pros: As a Project Manager at Vertiv, I did appreciate the option for a hybrid work model. It's nice to have a couple of remote days a week for planning and documentation. For a big corporate company focused on critical digital infrastructure, that's pretty decent flexibility.
Cons: However, actual flexibility often depends on your specific projects and team lead. You really need to be onsite for certain meetings, especially with operations or product teams in the Columbus office. There isn't much wiggle room if you need more than the standard hybrid setup.
Advice to Management: I'd suggest management consider more trust for fully remote or more flexible schedules where feasible, especially for roles that don't require constant physical presence. Clearer guidelines on work from home policies would also help.

Pros: As an Applications Engineer, I appreciated the job stability here; it's a solid place in the power and cooling solutions industry. The benefits are decent, especially for a big corporate company. You get to work on pretty complex data center infrastructure projects.
Cons: Career progression is super slow for engineering roles. It feels like you're stuck unless a manager retires, making it tough to move up. There aren't many development programs for internal talent, which is a real bummer.
Advice to Management: Invest more in internal talent development and create clearer pathways for career advancement. People want to see a future here, not just a stable paycheck.

Pros: The hands-on experience with critical infrastructure like UPS systems and thermal management is really good for a Field Service Technician. I learned a lot about maintaining data center infrastructure. The pay is also pretty solid for this kind of work in the Columbus, Ohio area.
Cons: Leadership can be pretty disconnected from the daily grind. There's not much recognition for hard work, and feedback often feels one-sided. It feels like they don't really understand what goes into supporting customers onsite.
Advice to Management: Try to get more involved with the field teams. Understand our challenges better. Recognize good performance more often to boost morale.
