Pros

nice office, good parking, water was cold, bathroom was clean

Cons

there is absolutely no training provided. You are expected to know their operating systems without being trained on them. They will lie to your face to get you on board and then never produce what they promised you. I was fired because I was expected to learn 10 different operating systems and hundreds of products within 3 months. Noone would help you when you asked for help including Managers. Would not respond to IM's emails, or phone calls. The atmosphere in the office is really bad. Very few people even say Good Morning to each other.

Thank you for your review. While it’s hard to hear your experience was so negative, it’s important that we know and address any situations that are not reflective of our dedication to training and onboarding of our newcomers. This is truly the cornerstone of our business, especially as we grow. Of course, in addition to onboarding, we are always looking for ways to ensure our employees have the opportunity for learning and professional development. This includes more formal training and education opportunities, such as our Learning Management System as well as our Net@Work University sessions. Our management team is motivated to grow the business; we all know this cannot be done without supporting great people that work here. Feel free to contact Human Resources if there are more specifics you would like to share as it can only help us more.

Pros

Some colleagues are good and friendly and very happy to work with them.

Cons

1. Do not care about product quality They just focus on the speed to finish the product and do not care about the quality. If you can find very quick way to finish it, they will say you should use that one, although it is wrong way. No testing technology(what they say about QA is just click here and there). 2. Low salary and no benefit The salary here is very very low( much lower than the average salary in industry). Never raising and no bonus. They even low down you salary because of some wired reason after you join the team. Bonus! It is a joke. 3. No career opportunity You can learning nothing here except using plugins. You can write you own module or plugin. But manager will ask you why don't you find a plugin or module from internet. If you have any idea about the feature, they will say don't write it by yourself and find a plugin to implement it. You will lose your passion if you work here. 4. Cheating For person, do not believe what they say to you because nothing is true. If manager made some mistake, they will say it is dev's problem. The estimate time of one feature or project are decided by PM or Consulting manager and never talk with devs. What they will say to devs, "you can find a plugin to do this. Oh it is very easy." 5. Keep you busy If the team does not have much work to do, the consult manager will find you to ask you to find something which can make some revenue by yourself for company to do. The culture of this company is "Keep you busy". 6. Messy and bad management Let one guy do everything ignoring his background (PM: coding). For project, PM decide what platform developer should use and what technology developer should use. If things goes wrong, it is developer's problem. They cannot guide people work harder and happily because their idea is to find a senior developer but can accept low salary. It causes lot of people quit the job and hardly find new developers. They still want to add more revenue therefore they add more work the current developers with poor project management. My feeling: if they want you, they will say nothing but if they do not want you, they will use some way(decrease your salary, do not give work to you, etc) to let you go. They will fire or lay off any employee without any notice or any package and ask you to leave in one hour. For good work environment, you can learn new things or you can get good payment with hard work. In this company, you can get nothing. It is very sad to say these word because I feel very happy to work with my colleague, they are very nice and friendly. But this is all I feel.

Pros

You can get some flexibility to balance life. Most co-workers are super friendly

Cons

The higher management don’t have a certain direction to go. The employee reviews and goal setting are useless. Everything is in secret. Information is extremely restricted even like changing seats. Workflow is ineffective. The process is repeated unnecessarily because of the unprofessional management. They tell you what to do instead of what we need to achieve so there is no space for employee to try to improve the process. If they make mistake they blame employees. Managers are afraid of taking responsibility. If there is something goes wrong, some manager’s first response is finding a employee to blame instead of fixing the problem. There is no chance to negotiate the salary or bonus. Once you join the company, you have whatever they gave you.

Pros

1. There are some really nice people to work with and learn skills from 2. Monthly free pizza 3. Good office location

Cons

1. Sometimes company is not able to fulfill its promise to employee, such as salary raise, bonus, etc..which will surely lose the trust of employee in the long run 2. It's more like a consulting company. People with technical skills will not be treated with enough respect. They will need you when projects need you, and they may fire you as soon as projects are complete. 3. Senior managers seem to have too much power. They may fire people they don't like personally, whether they are talented, important to the team or not.

Pros

Seemed like a good organization to begin with

Cons

Alex Solomon is the worst person that I have ever encountered. He is OBVIOUSLY very insecure. DON'T use your e-mail to speak to anyone about ANYTHING, He reads and responds to them ALL, when they are not addressed to him. >>> I should have done more homework before joining this nutcase organization. EVERYONE that I met in NYC that assisted me onboard are GONE. As are all of the helpful people in the Raleigh office .. so, even if you sell, which I DID, there's no one to make the product do what you promised the customer that it would do . Zero stars.

Thanks for taking the time to reflect on your time at Net@Work. Since you are no longer an employee I can only say that I am sorry your experience here did not match our intention for Net@Work to be the best place you have ever worked. Me and the entire executive management team have always been extremely proud of our company, our employees and all of the successes we have enjoyed. We accept our rewards with both humility and pride; we take criticisms seriously and with reflection. We take care in not making promises to our clients that we may not be able to deliver. We have built our client relationships on the trust they have in us. We have an outstanding sales team who continues to raise the bar on achievements; indeed, it is not for everyone. We have worked hard to create a company where people are empowered to succeed and know that they are valued. While this was simple when we were smaller, we continue to ensure this is a core part of our environment. We know it is very important for everyone to feel connected and to enjoy transparency and collaboration as we continue to grow. From a technology standpoint, while we used to rely heavily on email exchanges to sort out solutions, we now work on a collaborative platform that allows everyone on the team to weigh-in in a timely fashion. This is still a work in progress, but it will transform our team collaboration and communications. Through our periodic surveys to our management, staff, clients, vendors and competitors (yes, our competitors), we have reflected on how we continue to build our brand. I am proud to say the outcome has been tremendously engaging and positive. We have a management team that supports this effort with open dialogue and inclusion in strategy and planning. We have employees who act as ambassadors who take part in company initiatives to further our collaboration- even as we grow. Beyond that, we continuously seek feedback throughout the organization to connect on a personal level with as many people as possible. If you would like to share more about your experience with me, feel free to contact me at asolomon@netatwork.com. I wish you the best in your future endeavors. -Alex Solomon Co-Founder
