Computer Task Group reviews about "opportunity"

Flat management structure so limited opportunities for promotion. Company is not a leader in the industry with any products or services and is usually catching up to stay in the game. Top leaders are all friends from past lives so the " family" culture ends up isolating those that are not part of it.

contracts end without any type of interaction from employees. If issue arrises you have no recourse, they just get rid of you. unstable job security w contracts

There is little or no investment in developing professionals unless you are a family member of a Sr. Manager, Director, VP, etc. and then the opportunities are limitless even if the family member has average to below average abilities. Recruiters are ineffective in finding new assignments for skilled employees because they don't understand transferable skills. They only look for assignments by previous job titles and don't communicate with professional job candidates only their managers. The business is primarily a temp agency in disguise despite saying they are positioned to offer long-term IT, management, quality, and consulting types of work.

Many changes and shifts in direction made it difficult to keep up.

Extremely conservative and old fashioned (waterfall, preference for paper over computers) Senior members actively resist new technology and software practices Project management has been a weakness for years and is not improving Staffing company mentality, history of no severance and no warning dismissals Corporate IT presents many challenges and painful restrictions, lacks focus on productivity and customer success Career advancement is almost non-existent as the goal is to keep people in the same positions forever and avoid re-training costs Management does not participate in career advancement coaching or mentoring Promises from management are often never realized All testing is manual and management is opposed to automated testing Testing and development work is often extremely repetitive Culture of 'work harder, not smarter' Technical achievements often not recognized, working late doing repetitive tasks rewarded and celebrated Office environment could be a lot cleaner Often asked to work nights and weekends with no compensation (occasional pizza at best)

At times, stress levels were high due to constant leadership changes, high call volumes, and a high turnover rate.
