Pros

When I was recruited into CIBER I was promised a great deal. I was told they were going to create a consultancy which was very new to CIBER what I found out was they were going to continue to be a "Body" Shop. They do give you some freedom with regards to daily job assignments although I do believe it is more because they are too busy to pay attention to what you are really doing.

Cons

When I was hired there were 25 people in the practice I was assigned too. When I was let go because "We are going in a different direction" there were only 9. I truly believe they do not have a clue within the practice I was assigned to on how to retain talent. During the 18 months of my employment I watched 2 Senior Directors come and go, 3 Delivery Directors come and go. They do not promote from within they would rather go outside the practice to find what they would consider qualified leadership in spite of the fact they do not understand the technology solutions they are trying to present. In short, the practice is a microchasm of what is really terribly wrong with the entire company. They believe in periodic purges of personnel whom they deem as unproductive. Their mantra is be billable at 100% or better or else.

Pros

They every so often will bring in a new manager who will actually be helpful, because the Ciber way is not yet engrained in them.

Cons

Recruiters lie (promised unlimited OT) Does not provide salary increases, even when additional money and approval is give by contracting company. Lack of communication. Does not provided annual reviews as stated. There is no respect for the worker Only interested in bottom dollar - no business ethics

Pros

Many opportunities to learn Hindi, Punjabi and Farsi from one's co-workers and bosses. Can't think of anything else I would call a good reason to work there. Oh wait, you will probably never speak regularly to a manager unless you make a mistake. Within a day or two, the problem will be solved by you being fired.

Cons

Most consultants have to do 100% travel, but consultants aren't supplied company credit cards. I was told expenses would be paid within a week or two. Two reports from early October, 2010, still haven't been paid (Dec 1). There is almost zero onboarding for new staff, except for a policies pamphlet. There is little coordination on projects, and CIBER offers little strategic planning at the start, so good tactical people are wasted with no long-term goals for the customer. Everyone loses. When I have some investment money, I'll call a few pals at Ciber (though they probably won't be there) and ask which companies have the biggest implementations going. One year later, I will short that company's stock, and make millions. Ohh, I had three managers in less than a month.
