Avantages
You get to learn a lot, becuase their are few shoulders and less resources than larger orgs. Being involved in many aspects of the organization. Experience gained working with Utilities, Telecomms, and Government Agencies, Aetospace, etc. this has helped tremendously. IT here means many things, typically huge breadth but limited depth. Rapid growth 12M to 25M from 2019 to 2020. If you can dig in, proactively solve problems and learn from senior staff, you will go far fast here. Flexibility. Gym shorts and t shirts a lot of days, others business casual. Need to take care of something during business hours, no big deal. Family Emergency? What can DeTect do to help. Proactive attitude from middle management.
Inconvénients
Negioted pay is mediocre at best. Though potential for other compensation. Many things are done the way they have always been. Despite being a small "tech" or electronics company this is the case. Top techincal staff put in many, many hours a week. Especially near project deadlines. My personal opinion is that a few of them could easily leave for >250k TC packages at Fortune 50 companies. Some project managers do not have the techincal knowledge needed to coordinate projects.
