Started okay, but the last few months have been quite bad. Not sure if I will last a whole year with this company - Software Engineer Dew Software Employee Review

Pros

not worth mentioning a single word in this section. I am already looking out for opportunities. I don't understand how somebody can stick with this employer for more than 6 months

Cons

I joined in spite of there being many negative reviews. I needed a job as I had been out of project for 2 months, so I agreed to join them. Everything seemed awesome initially but things started turning sour soon and the real face of the management started to show. 1) Salary not the same as what was promised 2) No official offer letter for the actual salary that you are getting paid. Offer letter only for the LCA salary value 3) Communication is horrible. You rarely get a response for your first email. 4) Management has monetary relationship with managers. They think because of that the manager is in their pocket and that they have more power and they talk to you very badly and threaten to replace you in no time. They do not respect you for your skills and instead use phrases like "any fool can do your job". Then does that make the company owner/President, the Leader of Fools? 5) If you argue, your access to paystubs will be removed and then you will not be able to transfer your visa to somebody else or you will be threatened with terms like deportation, revoking of the visa, removal from the project etc. 6) Mean and greedy management. They think that if they throw money everybody should dance to their tunes

Pros

great pay and decent benefits. great exposure to the role for a entry level position

Cons

only hire contractros and the ccompetition to get hired directly by the contracting company is intense. The contracting company also doesnt pay as well as the contractor company does.

Pros

The contract role is interesting and the people at the client company are nice, that’s the only positive thing Dew did, was connect me with them. And I have health insurance, another pro.

Cons

Shady and clueless. I had no idea who they were, had to look them up to make sure they were legit. They submitted my resume after I expressly said do not, I have never signed or agreed to their “Right to Represent”…I never actually spoke to the recruiter, it was all very transactional via email. They don’t care about you as a person/employee at all, they’re just a “body shop” and you’re an asset. I resent that this incredibly lame recruiter is getting a commission for literally doing nothing but sending a resume. This same recruiter has no experience recruiting for my vertical yet was telling me how to prepare for my interviews. Laughable. They also wanted to reduce my hourly rate (after I’d signed the contract) because I was opting in to insurance, separate/in addition to me paying my monthly insurance premiums. Huh? What? I don’t think so… They haven’t once contacted me since starting the assignment to check in. I have shared my thoughts with the client about how awful Dew is from a contractor perspective and that if they want the right kind of candidates in the future, they shouldn’t use Dew.
