Pros

Abacus Technology Corporation might POSSIBLY give you a fair salary, if you demand it initially. Time off is generally approved as needed.

Cons

The senior management of Abacus is extremely out of touch when it comes to what is and is not a realistic expectation. Job descriptions are non existent, and the organization operates using no fewer than three organizational structure charts at the same time. Expect to be charmed with optimism at the interview, but that's where the feel good stops. You will most likely be asked for your ideas on how things can be made better, and then ignored or dismissed when you make a suggestion. Contracts are underbid, communication from management to staff is strictly one way. It usually takes no fewer than two days to receive a response from Human Resources when you make a request. Senior management is generally offsite, only to visit on irregular intervals. This company provides little to no training for their staff yet expects them to be subject matter experts. Abacus senior management are masters at placing a positive spin on bad situations when reporting to their government customers. Staff members have in the past been directed to submit false time cards under the "fixed bid contract" pretense, with managememt changing their tone only when threatened with investigation. Many staff members have experienced deteriorating health, lower self esteem, and personal relationship issues as a result of the unnecessary stress caused in part by poor senior management.

Pros

Pay is OK, slightly below market. If you keep your head down and don't make waves, you can stay in your position for quite a while, with minimal effort. Management is not individually problematic, as they are much too busy and scattered to bother with any one individual.

Cons

The company is very small, with several big contracts that are very young. The company does not know how to manage their clients, don't understand scope control, and can't staff appropriately for the job requirements. The benefits are quite expensive, and HR can't seem to be organized enough to get the correct benefits information to individuals. Abacus does not follow its own policies in the employee handbook. Even with requests for feedback, there has been no performance or salary reviews. Management does not understand tech or tech requirements, will promise the world to their clients, and then expect solutions delivered immediately.
