Pros

The people are fantastic, and the company itself is fun. There is always some sort of celebration going on, and management seems to understand the need to have a good time as well as getting work done. Happy employees means we are willing to work harder, even during our own time.

Cons

Gateway EDI is doing very well industry-wise. They are constantly gaining more and more clients. however, while the staffing has been beefed up on the IT side for the 4010/5010 transition, the client growth has not been mirrored in client services. It feels as if turning the profit is more important than correct staffing. profit margins look great right now, but wait until clients start feeling these growing pains and react by going elsewhere. One of our claims to fame is that we don't enter tickets and we solve our issues quickly and effectively. At this point, that is not happening and no permanent steps are being taken to solve these problems.

Pros

None, run dont even consider them

Cons

"India-first mentality." The company says it wants to work with people across the Americas and Europe, but many decisions still seem to follow an Indian way of operating without properly considering local labor laws, regulations, and workplace expectations. There are serious concerns about job stability. The company frequently praises itself for creating employment opportunities, but at the same time, it appears to be bringing more employees from India into U.S. roles while letting go of people from the Americas and Europe who have contributed to the company. This creates uncertainty and raises questions about the company's commitment to its existing workforce. Every meeting seems to be focused on AI : AI this, AI that, AI everywhere. Employees are constantly asked to complete AI related training and adapt to AI initiatives, while at the same time letting people go so they can afford AI. Compensation is another area that needs improvement. After my contributions and time with the company, my last salary increase was only $20, which felt extremely discouraging and showed a lack of appreciation for employees' efforts.
