Pros
A good collection of products, but nothing that can't be designed and built by others. Some good people with actual technical skills.
Kontras
A Microsoft shop where professional service is limited to infrastructure only. Anyone with no infrastructure experience is deemed useless and looked down on, even if you bring specialized skills to the table. A data, security, etc. resource is expected to know not only the infrastructure but infrastructure tools such as Terraform. Majority of consulting houses have specialized teams for infrastructure, but here you are the one-man army. The sales team is a special bunch, who somehow lack basic skills to win work. Surprisingly, when Lab3 decided to let go of 10% workforce in Feb 2023, in March they decided to hire more in sales. Why keep growing a group where they don't deliver. The so called solutions design team is not technical enough, only there to write-up templates SoW and cost models. They are miles away from the current market trends and rely on professional services to spoon feed them with solutions, resourcing and effort estimation. The way practices are run amuses the most. The practice group leading the practice don't know anything beyond finger pointing, and are happy to shift blame away from themselves. All strategic mess is blamed on the delivery team and they come out with clean slate. Highly toxic, you feel suffocated and wish you never joined Lab3 and especially the practice. Recent 5 star reviews you see here are a result of Lab3 senior leadership asking their current employees to post positive reviews, in an attempt to outnumber all the negative reviews people have been posting about Lab3. Recruiters who spoke to people who were made redundant were surprised why Lab3 let go of people when other organizations were hiring and ramping up. Many have left on their own fearing this might happen again. Lab3 started hiring again in March 2023 for the same roles they let go of. Some strategy by the brains trust.
