Pros
My colleagues were amazing. Pay and benefits were average
Cons
This company does not have a spine. To them, you are just a number. If you decide to work here, just know that going in. Nothing matters except the bottom line. Credence laid off/furloughed over 500 contractors with its USAID programs in a single day with no prior warning that this was going to happen. The decision to dismantle USAID is obviously not Credence's fault, but the way they handled it exposes the true nature of this company. Additionally, Credence openly supports the very administration that cost it hundreds of million dollars in business. Insane. They axed everyone with no severance, 3 days left of health coverage, and then completely ceased all communication. That's pretty cruel. This company was not competent enough to handle such a large workforce. I would also caution against working at Credence because the future of this company is uncertain. USAID was Credence's largest client while they had the contracts, and now they are gone. The company shrunk by 30% in a day after the layoffs. Losing that amount of business is no joke. When things like this happen, the bottom line becomes even more important, so I would be very cautious if you are thinking of accepting an offer at Credence post February 2025. What is especially frustrating is the company's support for the Trump administration, showing they have no moral integrity. The company highlights that they donated to Trump's inaugural fund on their website. They also scrubbed any mention of their work with USAID. This truly shows that this company's leadership (the President and CEO: Sid and PG) lack any ounce of integrity.
