Pros

Nothing good about the company

Cons

This company demonstrated a high level of unprofessionalism throughout the hiring process. After conducting interviews and completing salary negotiations, the candidate agreed to the offered budget, and even the joining date was confirmed. However, the process was unnecessarily delayed, and despite prior agreement, the company again pushed for a lower salary hike. The offered compensation was already not competitive based on the candidate's previous CTC, making the repeated negotiations unreasonable. Overall, it resulted in a significant waste of the candidate's time and effort. Note: Before considering this company please save your precious time.

We take allegations of this nature very seriously and would like to investigate this matter thoroughly to ensure our internal protocols are being upheld. We would truly welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you directly to understand the specifics of your experience.

Pros

No pros at all except WFH

Cons

1) Was sold a full-time opportunity only to find out 6 weeks in that it was an 8-week proof-of-concept contract. They only hired me because of my previous experience with the client. I never would have accepted an 8-week contract and turned down other job opportunities during this time. I was used. 2) They held onto my HSA funds for over a month and could never explain why and only rectified it after numerous emails. 3) They overcharged me on my medical premiums (I never would have signed up for benefits for an 8-week engagement but thinking it was full-time like my paperwork stated, I did) and it took countless emails over 2 months and opening a complaint with the Department of Labor to get my $400+ back. 4) One month after the engagement, I was notified by unemployment that Ascendion said I was fired (which was a lie, the project ended). I had an adjudication interview with unemployment and shared emails with evidence of such. Ascendion never responded which resulted in delaying my unemployment funds for 30 days.
