Net@Work reviews about "opportunity"

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.

In your interview you'll hear words like entrepreneurial, collaborative, and high growth. ALL LIES, trust me I was duped into believing that this company was a technology force to be reckoned with..WRONG! In fact, they are the complete opposite. They dictate, don't really care about most employees opinions, they grow by buying up much smaller companies but organic growth is stagnant. The technology they sell is sub par, honestly I don't even know why a company would purchase the products they provide. So many more options on the market. One particular con is the Executive Management team (Owners, Chief People Officer (aka HR), etc..). Just like other reviews, they are very much revenue driven, which is fine because like any company they are in it to make money, but they do it at the expense of their employees. Long hours, virtually no work life balance, little to no professional development opportunities, no voice, very little to no collaboration between departments, and the attitude that EVERYONE IS REPLACEABLE.

Change takes time, no different here, understanding the process is key. Fast change usually means wholesale change are frequent, I’ll take slower instead. Learning to manage competing priorities is a skill most require here.

-Benefits could be better but they are actively working to improve the plans they offer -Unhappy employees often poison the well for new employees before they can form their own opinions

Need to be self-starter to contribute value.

If you're a serious professional, please stay away, you will regret joining Net@Work. Don't be fooled by the 'promises' you will get when HR calls you or that hiring manager. Trust me, its not worth it. They are more after any means profits and bandages to client issues than anything innovate and forward thinking, robust and resilient. You will lose focus at this company. There is nothing to learn here or do here around new technologies. They do not offer you the opportunity create things, there is no path to growth as well except if after 3 years you're content with doing the same thing but a change of 'Title' assuming you're the only surviving among your original team. If you're just getting out of school maybe this will work, but for everyone else, stay away. Horrendous micromanagement, Compensation is mediocre at the very least, one of the worst in the Tri-State Area. I do not recommend this company. The so called 5 star reviews here are very, very suspicious. On the contrary, some one wrote "This company is backwards and clueless and by the looks of things , futureless." - I find myself agreeing with that statement. You get the picture, don't say you were not warned!.

Many employees don’t realize how deeply the Owners and the senior team care about our people. They are committed to building a culture where employees love what they do, have fun while they are doing it and get to reap the rewards of being wildly successful! I believe this is a factor of our rapid growth in recent years and our fast-paced business. It will be a priority for me to identify opportunities for employees at all levels to get more exposure to them so they can see and experience this for themselves.
