Poor Delivery at Client Expense

Pros

When Ionic Partners bought Gigster, all the services continued to be delivered by the same people and customers experienced little change! All operations remained exactly the same for a while, as the priority was to eliminate all non-operating expenses and liabilities to deliver great profits to the new owner.

Cons

Ionic Partners began to change as new contracts were signed and with new customers, shifting to low-cost offshore resources doing a poor job, especially given what customers are paying, and a HUGE departure from Gigster’s brand, The company has proven to have moved to a low-value model.

Unethical behaviors from the C-suites

Pros

Flexible hours, startup culture. There is a niche for this.

Cons

Ego and overleveraging the company has put the company on a tight string. Despite closing funding rounds, the company's margins are sorely far behind where they need to be on projects. Management will not stand up for you, rather will put you under the gauntlet. Projects rarely get delivered to satisfaction and the devs on the platform are far from the Ivy League caliber as marketed. Dev shops all the way in Africa have been brought on to work on key projects in order to meet deadlines. The quality of code is nowhere near top notch as marketing would have you believe. Projects are routinely behind schedules. Clients get screwed and are given NDAs to sign. Good luck!

Pros

The model is new and should have huge potential with clients. Some salespeople have had great success, most have not. Leads with the right accounts can be very fruitful.

Cons

Sales leadership mislead many during interviews regarding which clients have MSAs, revenue per client, leads, sales process, and potential. The organization did not care about their clients. So much change has happened at Gigster recently, hopefully, the "startup ego" is gone too. So many early career employees helped foster a very poor professional environment. I've never worked in an environment where internal employees actively worked against another, as they did at Gigster.
