Pros

Clients are great, management and leadership is not.

Cons

Where to start -Low pay. Especially since they compare themselves with more established companies but don’t provide their employees with corresponding pay. -Management at an office level is not professional. -Culture is toxic and they try to make it look like there is great camaraderie but it’s the opposite. Even if you address issues to management, things don’t improve and management not only enables unprofessional and inappropriate but also part takes in it. -Management and leadership will promise you a lot and act like they support you but behind your back they are making decisions without your input that affects your ability to effectively. -Management and leadership is inconsistent. Depending on who you talk to they will tell you to focus on different things and no one agrees to what should be prioritized and blame you for their lack of direction. -Lots of micromanagement from managers and high level leadership with little to no help, support, or direction.

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.
