Pros

Company values that align with my personal values Respect for people Opportunities for training (even for someone over 50 yo)

Cons

After a succesful 1+ year project they let me go because they didn't see a new customer project in the near future (most of their clients operate in a different sector like banking and insurance)

Thank you for providing a response. We frequently hear that managers trust employees to do their job autonomously, providing support when needed. Since a significant portion of our population works remotely, keeping in touch is important to us. Frequent communication and idea sharing builds rapport, trust, and relationships among team members. Conference calls are an effective way to develop connections within teams when people are spread across the country. Chat with your manager about your concerns if you feel you aren’t getting as much out of the calls as you should. In terms of diversity training, we are proud to have a workforce diverse in backgrounds and ideas. The top rated statements in our most recent Great Place to Work survey were that CTGers are treated fairly regardless of their race, sexual orientation, and gender. We feel diversity should be understood and celebrated; training helps maintain that kind of awareness company-wide. We wish you continued success in your role!

A company past its prime

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

It pays a decent starting hourly wage and the people at CTG aren't terrible.

Cons

They contract you out to other companies to work for them instead temporarily where you get treated as a second class citizen who's entirely expendable

We appreciate your feedback and the positive aspects you pointed out. Competitive wages and a familial work environment are important to us. You’re correct that the people at CTG aren’t terrible – they’re wonderful! CTGers are what make us a Great Place to Work by supporting each other and creating a culture of collaboration. Our management team upholds that culture in every assignment at every client. If you don’t feel the CTG culture is present in your environment, please reach out to your manager to talk through it.

CTG is committed to a safe and healthy work environment free of harassment and discrimination and one in which our employees can thrive. We expect and hold all of our employees accountable to treating each other with respect and in a professional manner. To that end, all of our employees receive and acknowledge our Anti-Harassment Policy at the time of hire and on an annual basis thereafter that details these expectations and how to communicate their concerns. Our managers receive specialized harassment training focusing on modeling appropriate behavior. CTG’s employment policies assure our employees that there is always a vehicle of communication available to address any concern: your direct manager, your manager’s manager, or any Human Resource representative. If you have a concern, please inform your CTG manager or CTG HR representative immediately.
