Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

First off I want to start by saying that the positive reviews on here are inflated by leadership who are desperate to make the company look attractive for a potential buyout. A few reasons I wouldn't recommend working at Ascendion: - Broken Promises & Inconsistent Priorities: Management makes promises of support and career growth, but lacks follow-through. They prioritize conflicting goals without clear communication, leaving employees confused and blamed for resulting issues. - Micromanagement & Lack of Support: Constant micromanagement from both managers and leadership creates a stressful environment. Management threatens everyone with performance plans almost every week. This company is disorganized and unstable, with constant changes in direction and unclear priorities. Unfortunately, this comes with minimal actual support or guidance. - Unprofessional & Inappropriate Behavior: Perhaps the most concerning issue is the unprofessional and inappropriate behavior. I personally experienced inappropriate comments from several leaders, and when reported, was simply told to ignore it. This highlights a deeper problem of a company culture that doesn't prioritize respect or employee well-being. For potential employees seeking a professional, respectful, and supportive work environment, I strongly advise looking elsewhere.

Pros

Working here has been a transformative experience for my career. The company’s commitment to being AI-first isn't just marketing—it’s reflected in our massive investment in cutting-edge technology and infrastructure. Beyond the tech, the supportive leadership is what truly sets this company apart. My managers have been instrumental in progressing my skill set, providing both the resources and the autonomy I need to grow. If you are looking for rapid career advancement and want to be at the forefront of AI innovation, this is the place.

Cons

The pace is fast because we are moving so quickly in the AI space, so you need to be comfortable with constant change.

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.
