Contractor at IBM through CTG

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are decent. Paychecks arrive on time. I work 100% with IBM staff, so have very little dealings with CTG management.

Cons

No raise in five years. 401(k) match discontinued. But we get discount movie tickets!!! The stock buy-back certainly didn't trickle down to employees (or at least not contractors).

Pros

They haven't gone bankrupt yet?

Cons

Management - There is no competent person in management at local sites. Don't try to contact Payroll there isn't a way to do so. There appear to be skilled managers at the headquarters in Buffalo, but they employ poorly trained and impersonal people to herd the employees and crack the whip. The company is inflexible and "charges" employees for "training costs" upon separation by reducing their pay for their last paycheck to minimum wage or otherwise charge the employee for earned vacation time. Extreme attrition due to inattentive "managers"

For junior testers only

Pros

Good place for juniors to work at respectable clients. Car and/or bike lease

Cons

-Family or social life not compatible with carrier at CTG. (after 6y I was told to leave because "I don't put my professional career, above my personal life", after my holidays and during corona confinment, after 6 months of homeworking with kids around) -Minimum salary. -Fairy tale values. -Ruthless management (since change). -Slow career progression (unless you attend after work events, or organize trainings on your own time). -Not as multicultural as other companies. -Except for Testing, other departments are symbolical. -Obsessed with the "Employer of the Year" label, which is a masquerade.

Thank you for taking time to submit feedback. In follow up to your concerns, we believe CTG offers career enhancing opportunities for all levels of employees, whether they are junior, senior, or somewhere in between. We are disheartened to hear you felt your family and social life were not compatible with a CTG career because we feel quite the opposite. Especially while we work through the complexities of a COVID-19 world, CTG supports flexible schedules with work from home options so employees are able to fulfill both their job requirements and family obligations. We feel that type of support along with our dedication to employee well-being is what earned us “Great Place to Work” certifications in 2019, which is notably different from the “Employer of the Year” survey that we do not participate in. As you know, Filip Gydé, our CEO, is particularly driven by employee satisfaction and ensuring CTG lives up to his mantra that “happy people produce quality work”. We wish you the best of luck in the future.

Worst place to work

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

If you are a developer and want to work and have a nice mission to develop using new technologies: avoid CTG ... run away!

Cons

- Hard to find a mission for developers - Not a referenced within Luxembourg clients - Fixed price projects ( "Projets en forfait") are very old technology and management is made by young persons thinking that they are in a higher position and you are obliged to do a work on time THEY decided to be done on, with too much harassment. - RH team make pressure and threats in case you don't accept to work for a "Fixed price project" or a mission. - Too much bla bla meeting just to show that they are working and there is business - Too much non useful hierarchy (manager, leader, team leader, boss of business line ,bla bla bla ..) looks like all are managers in this company ( ironic )

CTG encourages all current and past employees to post reviews of their CTG experience. We enjoy reading the positive comments so we can continue to develop our strengths as a company. While negative comments are disheartening to receive, we see it as an opportunity to develop action items in response to constructive criticism. We are disappointed to hear that you did not enjoy your time with CTG and wish you well in the future.

Pros

They do most things through email, which is great if you're not a 'phone person'.

Cons

Benefits package is the worst I've seen (would cost me about 1/3 of my take-home pay to cover myself and my medical needs). You are basically paying out of pocket for everything so unless you are perfectly healthy, you are immediately thrown back under poverty line. Christmas... not paid, Thanksgiving... not paid, New Years... not paid You are forced to be out of work and not get paid. 401k, no matching No Vacation No sick time (unless you're located in a state that mandates it). You hear all about how well the company is doing and how they are expanding thanks to the money they make off of you. You are just a pawn to earn them money but don't expect the company to care about you. They get paid for every hour you work hard and offer absolutely nothing in return.

Thank you for taking the time to submit feedback. It’s clear you felt our benefits package did not meet your needs. Varying benefit and time off packages are offered to serve the diverse needs of our employees. We agree that CTG’s success begins and ends with our employees; they are the lifeblood of the company. In return for their invaluable contributions to CTG, the company aims to provide a Great Place to Work with a positive, engaging, and supportive work environment. We encourage any employee who is unhappy in their role to discuss their concerns with their manager.

Pros

Great people. Salary was on par but the bonus structure was great.

Cons

Not much vision in management. There was little growth happening in the EMR world at the time, lots of shifts in management, poor performing stock. The Health Solutions side needed a real shake up.

Pros

-Phenomenal management - allowed me to take (unpaid) sick leave for mental health reasons. -Reasonable time off and work from home days with valid reason at the Administrative Assistant I level; You get one day of working from home per week when/if you move up to an Executive Assistant role or higher. -People tend to get promoted around the one year mark (I've only been working there since nine months so fingers crossed), and movement out of the admin department into other areas in Lenovo (where I'm stationed under CTG) is encouraged.

Cons

-Random spurts of non-stop work with hours of overtime, interspersed between phases of mind-numbing boredom -You choose one of three tiers of payment and benefits upon being given an offer. Top tier is more per year but limited benefits (and they're expensive per month to boot), and lowest tier is Hourly. I personally found this strange and it impeded me from negotiating my salary. Of course, that was partially my naivety.
