Pros

None, that I am aware.

Cons

I see by the review comments of others that nothing has changed at CTG in a long time. I actually managed to last for 18 years, but that was at a different, and better, CTG than it is today. I left shortly after the current CEO started, and he's the reason I was let go. Prior CEOs cared about each employee, and yes, we were almost all actual employees, not contractors. Lots of very organized, well-run offices throughout the country (and world). Not after he started. He eliminated bench time, cut benefits and pay, and essentially turned CTG into a body shop. It's a shame, because it used to be a good company.

Pros

CEO is based in Belgium and is a good leader that genuinely cares about his people and is trying to bring European values like work life balance to the company. It can feel like a family here as the teams are small. They have been a pioneer in remote work and are offering hybrid and remote schedules even more now.

Cons

CTG is an old school company that is struggling to appear as innovative as other IT companies. They have a very unimaginative and reactive approach to product development and Human Resources, and can’t seem to figure out who they want to be. Their benefits and compensation plans are fairly basic compared to similar firms. Their overall HR mentality is very much stuck in their ribbon cutting era. Most staff do not receive regular raises and their starting PTO is your standard two weeks with a painfully slow accrual rate and a low capped amount even after more tenure. You have to “buy” extra vacation and they sell this to employees as a benefit. They do not offer 401K matching and by all indications will not in the foreseeable future. There’s a lot of nepotism since most of the leaders have been with the company for many years. When you work here you will see the same people promoted over and over while most are stuck in the same position for years. And there is absolutely no diversity in their overhead staff. They use “inclusion” as a buzzword but there are few if any BIPOC people in management and zero in senior leadership. Being a fixture in the Buffalo community I expected to see a statement on their social about the tragedy that happened not too far from their HQ, but radio silence. Similar silence on Pride month, and other cultural holidays with the exception of a few generic inclusion posts. The sad reality is that few POC and LGTBQ people are able to achieve meaningful progress in their careers here. I believe their European operations are a bit better at this. And there’s no employee engagement for teams outside of the HQ. Best Place to Work? They may have the badge but not the practices to support this distinction. Hopefully new HR leadership will bring them into 2022.

We appreciate the time you took to provide such thoughtful feedback. We believe that our CEO and leadership team's commitment to practices that strengthen our culture and contribute to achieving Great Place to Work certification year after year perpetuates the family-based culture you experienced. As a GPTW company, we are committed to continuously seeking and reviewing the input of our employees across the organization from many sources to ensure we receive the most accurate representation –GPTW surveys, internal surveys, Glassdoor reviews, exit and new hire surveys, and more. Employee insight is critical in CTG's innovation and growth as an employer and provider of leading digital IT services and solutions. It, therefore, is of the highest importance to our HR and leadership teams. Our HR teams use the insight gained from employee feedback to develop programs that support our people-focused culture and enact programs in our employees' best interest. We strategically choose program initiatives and invest in those that benefit our employees while balancing our financial responsibility to our shareholders. For example, we know that the cost of benefits for our employees is of the utmost importance, so our leadership team made financial decisions that allowed CTG to reduce employee benefit costs significantly three years in a row – 2020, 2021, and 2022. At CTG, our first core value is respect. That core value is applied in many ways, not the least in addressing the areas of diversity and equal opportunity. We are sorry that you found this an area to be lacking. We have found, as recently as our most recent GPTW survey, that most of our employees disagree. Statements related to fair and equitable treatment of employees regardless of race, sexual orientation, gender, and age received the highest ratings. Finally, you noted a few instances where you felt we remained silent. We were neither silent nor unengaged in either instance. In May of 2022, we chose to keep our communication and donation efforts focused where we felt that they were most needed and appropriate – internally, on our employees and in our headquarters community. We also kicked off our annual Pride month recognizations across our global social media channels on June 1. We encourage you to visit any of our social media channels this month. In summary, 'CTG's Core Values and culture are built upon respect, support, and open, two-way communication. We are sorry that you have had a different experience. Your CTG HR and leadership team would welcome the opportunity to talk through these or any other issues you have.

Pros

There are NO pros for CTG.

Cons

They underbid on contracts and hire a small team with a shoestring budget and then try to work you like a slave. The clients have no clue how bad CTG is and on top of the deliverables for the client CTG tries to occupy 175% of your time with CTG administrative tasks and supervisory responsibilities of your other team members without your consent or paying you for all the additional ours. Don't be fooled.

While we appreciate your feedback and regret that you had a negative experience here at CTG, we respectfully disagree; our employees find many benefits in working for CTG and client deliverables are always a top priority. Our employees communicate that they find fulfillment in their assignments by drawing upon and developing their skills and experiences in order to meet our clients’ needs. We recognize that CTG is not immune to employees concerns from time to time, however, our managers work diligently to ensure all employees are not only happy in their assignments, but also reliably meeting our obligations to the client. When necessary, we encourage all employees to speak with their manager if they are unhappy or having difficulty meeting the expectations within the designated deadline. We wish you well in your future endeavors.
