Pros

If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and are willing to be proactive, creative, and think outside the box, Net@Work is the most amazing place for you. I have been with the company for about 2 years and have known the company's owners since its inception. I have also owned my own businesses over the years. But having the opportunity to work within a great organization, with super-talented people and smart ambitious leadership like those at Net@Work, has been terrific. I am frankly surprised by negative reviews others have posted here on Glassdoor. Those people have obviously not understood that an entrepreneurial spirit is what it takes to be successful in business and at Net@Work. There are many staff who have been a part of this team since the beginning. What other proof do you need that this is a super place to work? Net@Work stands for quality and hard work. The client is first and foremost in every decision. If you don't make those priorities your goal every day, you will fail anywhere you go. Net@Work is the best job I have ever had - hands down. If you are looking for a great place to learn, expand your career, and make money, Net@Work is the place for you.

Cons

Not enough happy and proud Net@Work employees like me speaking out in favor of this great place and speaking for the real Net@Work.

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

Management is very in touch with the areas of the company that need improvement and are always striving to improve those areas. Fastest growing company that I've ever worked at yet even with the fast growth the owners and management run a very healthy business. Company has no debt so never worried about company running into trouble. If you are good and strive to be great they will help you get there. If you express your desire to move into management the company will help you get there( not what I wanted for myself but I've watched friends and coworkers make the move successfully) Company has been expanding nationally so you get to travel a lot if you want to. Owners are very personable and down to earth. Pay is good but if you perform well then pay is better than you can get anywhere in this industry. Management has no tolerance for employees that are toxic, employees that aren't nice or people that take the joy out of coming to work, regardless of how smart they are.

Cons

You sometimes need to figure too much out by yourself because with all the growth, people get very busy. Sometimes can be stressful as it can be very fast paced.

Pros

I worked with alot of good people, unfortunately turn over was high. Understaffed...I cant comment how the work atmoshpere is currently; but I hope its gotten better.

Cons

Management was good to me personally ....however there were more people in mid management who thought they were the owners and treat people how they liked. (I guess its not too much of a con since they no longer work there). I was approached by HR(who also is no longer there) to put in a good rating on this site after they had a few unpleasant reviews...so that's all I will say about that.

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

Some of my team members are the best people I have worked with. you get to work with some new cool technology.

Cons

Fake positive reviews! Micromanagement to the point of being psychotic. Management wants to know "to the minute" what your are doing but then can't remember anything at then end of the conversation. Only concerned with making money. Don't care about customers at all. Overcharge for everything. Horrible health insurance. Cost over $1000 out of pocket for a CT scan. I get so angry and frustrated that I find myself pacing and talking to myself. I have to get out ASAP before I go completely INSANE.

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

Pros

They throw a decent holiday party. Monthly kosher pizza lunch (that the owners are too busy to attend). There are some really talented people that are the glue keeping this company together.

Cons

Too many to list. No training...you are totally on your own. Lousy, and VERY expensive health benefits. Lots of empty promises relating to compensation and owners reserve the right to change it on a whim and negotiate ways to reduce commission/bonus payouts.

Pros

Interesting and varied work. Business model constantly evolving and thus opening new opportunities. Very talented colleagues and nice people to work side by side with. Very sales focused organization.

Cons

Plan to work very hard. Understand that you may not feel properly compensated/appreciated.The focus on sales may diminish the results provided of a true solution architecture. Focus on selling solutions sometimes diminishing the ability to recommend the best solution.
