iVenture Solutions, Inc.

iVenture is the El Dorado of IT Employment opportunities. It's a Best Place to Work for a reason. It has the best technology, the best staff, the best clients, and the best opportunities for technical growth in a full-time job that I've ever seen. 

You can begin an IT career at the very bottom, as a NOC Analyst or a Help Desk Associate, and work your way up to becoming a qualified Systems Engineer, Technical Account Manager, and more with training, coaching and support every step of the way. 

The company is constantly requesting feedback and making all of their changes as transparent and rational as possible. The entire company is designed for ease of understanding, ease of involvement, and ease of success. Storage/DR, Security, Networking, Virtualization, Consulting, Development, Administration, Integration; it's all here.

If I had to be critical, it's that compensation is the lowest priority for the company. You can live off the pay you receive, but you're going to know that others with your skills, in positions you're qualified for, are making much more. But your workplace experience, I guarantee, is far superior. Revenue is invested back into the company with the goal of helping it grow and expand to an end-goal that may not be yet determined. But they do listen to complaints and try their best to accommodate. The answer is usually, 'get promoted' however, which is much easier said than done when you get higher up, as there are specific milestones you have to achieve and be tested on.

There is a nagging fear sometimes that upper management doesn't always live up to the ideas that they espouse. As we grow, the intimacy between upper-management and the service team has grown more stretched and distant, and it can feel like they aren't really walking the walk as much anymore, or really trying to listen from the perspective of the employee as much. I think that's something that they are working on correcting from going lax.

That's my honest review of the company. No place is perfect, but this is about as close as I've ever seen, and it has the potential for true greatness. Don't let the opportunity slide by if you're offered a position. Come and experience it for yourself. It will change the way you value yourself as an employee and any other job, now or in the future, will have a new high bar to live up to.

Going straight to the point here.

The Good:
- Onboarding
- Culture

The Bad:
- workload
- pay
- management
- communication
- job security
- work-life balance

Your situation may vary but on my team, there was poor communication as far as reviews go. You will be told you're doing well and keep up the good work, then let go for not being "aligned" a week or 2 later. Your miles may vary, but there was a lot of traveling required. If you have a family, good luck. The compensation is not on par for the level of work required of you.

The pay is nowhere near what it should be considering what is expected of you. You will be busy, you will be working nights and weekends and you will be traveling all the time. They do try and ease the burden by taking you out to dinner. 

If you're a mid-level IT professional, this would be good for you if you don't have a family. You will get exposed to many different environments and learn a lot, self taught of course. If you are solid IT professional, this isnt for you. The turnover rate on our team was high and I can see why.

Overall I would rate this company a 2.5/10. Turnover rate is high, workload is daunting, and the pay is low. You are expected to wear many hats (sys engineer, network engineer, sec engineer) for pay well below the market value. 

Its good for new-mid level IT professionals looking to learn. Bad for established tried and true professionals. Seems to be the way the company operates, they are extremely client focused, leaving the employees scrambling to get the job done, for low pay. Just dont drink the Kool-Aid. 


This would be a good place to start if you're looking to gain experience with a wide range of software, technology and skills, if you can make it past the interview process and sell yourself out for a low salary.  When a simple Level 1 Help Desk is asking for a Bachelor's degree and coupled with several interviews (including a multi-person panel), it makes it a little tough to compete.  They try to suck you in with the free soda and Xbox game room, but it doesn't help when the pay and benefits are sup-par.

Once you're in, you will quickly find how overwhelming the workload can be.  The office environment tends to be sterile and clique-ish.  Team leads are more friendly with their own kind or higher, and can be two-face to their team employees.  HQ and remote offices don't interact much with each other, and when people visit other offices most people are stand-offish.  Sometimes you have to rely on your teammates for assistance, but they are also overwhelmed with work and barely talk to you.

Advancement is tough.  They have a stringent list of tasks to complete in order to advance up through a career path.  Team leads sometimes like to hinder your steps for advancement, and give learning opportunities to other people.  HR will hold annual career path reviews with you, but they are just formal; they don't care if they are planning your exit.

If you need a job, and can get past the interviews and get an offer, take it.  Try your best to gain as much experience as possible and advance your skill set.  Get out as soon as possible, the longer you stay there the less happy you will be.

iVenture is such a wonderful work environment, you'll think you're dreaming. Why is iVenture so great?

1. People: the positive and collaborative nature of management and employees makes you feel accepted and valued.

2. Perks: PTO, health, company events, food galore

3. Promotions: iVenture prefers to hire from within. If you're looking for opportunities to be recognized and advance your career, this is your best bet. 

Further...

From the management to team members, there is an active determination to be the best you can be. But the idea is not to rise above others, but to elevate everyone, and that's the key difference between iVenture and other companies. They want everyone to succeed and facilitate ways to make that happen.

Transparency is also a huge benefit. There are no office politics to worry about, no harsh chain of command to fear. Everyone is ready and willing to help everyone else achieve their goals.

iVenture welcomed me like family. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. Work is steady and you are never under pressure. You have the opportunity to succeed in your own personal IT goals. Your achievements do not go unnoticed or unused. Choose a path and iVenture will support your path and utilize your talents to help you grow. Work/life balance is...well...balanced :). My family notices a difference when I come home and talk about how I'm moving forward in my career and not bogged down like other jobs I have had. Career advancement is encouraged and the team supports your growth. Only you can slow yourself down. iVenture does everything under the sun to push you forward. They listen, care and really understand your needs as an individual.

Training was comprehensive and not rushed. Different faces and departments contributed to the training so that kept things fresh. I've been in training where one person explains everything from his or her perspective and I don''t like that style. The people are knowledgeable, the staff is friendly and really helpful. They promote from within and have a proven layout for promotions. Leadership is amazing. Benefits are fun as there are plenty of out of work activities, gym access, health, dental, access to labs / equipment. It is and was a good decision. I highly recommend this company. :) Good luck

Regardless of the Pay (much lower than market), the team was amazing. One particular point is the selection of very supportive and capable Team leaders (Particularly in my team's case). My team lead never stopped amazing me at how he was able to manage Very different personalities and genuinely cared about making the team better. Upper management was always available and open to listen. Perks were frequent (Contests, Pot Lucks, and Team outings).
While it will not work out for my particular situation (irreconcilable differences), I am better for the opportunity and experience.

Iventure offers a great culture. They truly believe in work/life balance. They offer plenty of ways to further your learning and ways to move up or around in the company. The Pay is fair and based off experience and certifications. They offer AMAZING health benefits plus more like peerfit. For learning they have pluralsight.  They also pay for your Cert test. Everyone in the company is willing to help you, and will talk to you. They have events for you and your family aswell. The clients are amazing. Overall best Company!!    

I cannot say enough about how fabulous iVenture Solutions is. Management cares about employees and clients. They hire people who fit in with their culture, and take on clients that share the same values. Many companies talk and talk and talk about how important culture and values are, but never really walk the walk. Every day I see my leadership team and coworkers living by iVenture's core values. This truly is a fun place to work and I have definitely increased my extended family circle with the relationships I have made here.

Low pay and stressful work environment. Consistently felt over worked as the total number of employees was never enough to cover incoming volume. Overall service had shifted away from the customer first mentality it use to be. All work you do is closely monitored and more criticism is portrayed than positive notes.
