The previous reviewer sounds like someone from the marketing department trying to make the company look good on this website. I mean line by line responses to the one reviewer who bashed the company, sounds a little fishy to me.
Anyways, I agree that the cameras on the ceiling are a little much, makes me feel like I'm working at a bank or something. People are always gossiping and talking smack about other employees, don't think you can get away from that at any company though. All I can say is that startech is NOT for everyone, it takes a special kind of person to work here, and after almost 2 years I'm searching for new employment. After working here I've realized that I can do better than this overly stressful environment.
Not too crazy about the motivational retreats for the employees, feels like we're getting motivated to work harder but it doesn't really improve the working environment.
Lastly, I don't think anyone in their right mind would say that startech is an enviable workplace, VERY far from it.
