Cons
This is the worst IT consulting company I have ever worked for. Should have seen this coming a mile away when the recruiter wouldn't return my calls for several days at a time during the negotiation phase. Don't worry, you will most likely experience this if you are fortunate enough. Terrible communication and careless attitude from the central office. These guys are pros when it comes to bait and switch techniques. Top management and PMs solely rely on senior managers for feedback, feedback from non-managerial employees are totally disregarded and carry no value. Overall, a very toxic work environment. People seemed very fearful and would carefully watch what they said to others. Extremely high turnover throughout the company. Someone was leaving the company every two weeks. Sweat shop like work conditions. Working through lunch and staying late after work were the norms. Lots and lots of paperwork. Technically unchallenging work. Tedious and redundant processes. Very very high expectations from employees. Absolutely no room for errors. No standardization of processes. Just a huge mess. Totally male dominated work force. I have never worked at any other place that has such a small percentage of women working. All that shines is not gold, and this statement can not be any truer than when it comes to Blue Canopy. It truly lacks substance. With such weak foundations, lack of integrity, disorganization, no foresight, and disregard for genuine hard work and their employees, I can't imagine this company surviving more than a decade, or being successful at it. My advice for you is to not take any job offer from Blue Canopy under any circumstances. You will learn pretty much nothing, will get bombarded with redundant and tedious work, get no training whatsoever about the internal processes of your assigned team. You will absolutely mean nothing to this company. You are seen as a tool that is only there to get the tasks done instead of a human being. Do not believe anything they tell you. They will promise you the world to get you in. This place is a trap, stay away.
