Pros

I joined and left HiSoft Technology before it merged with Pactera. Got to admit that it is a company that provided opportunities to their employees to grow and learn. If you are willing to work, you will get the chance to face challenge and grow in skills.

Cons

Heavy work load and the turnover rate of the company was extremely high. Process is not well defined such that caused issue when dealing and working with the customers.

Pros

First contract I worked on was very enjoyable, that was about it. Learned to get the signed offer before giving notice at current job.

Cons

After accepting the position current position and giving notice at my previous employer, they dropped the originally agreed upon bill rate by $8.00/hr. Finishing up my first job they now want me to transition to another, nice but… The skill set for the new position requires a lot more skills. Not that I couldn’t handle it, I might be in a job underutilizing my skills while I consider I have a job and make enough. First job I’d say the pay is a bit below average, while for the second position they want to transition me to would require a lot more skills which I have, just not sure I want to work that hard. And for the second/new position they want to keep the pay rate the same. Looking at a few salary surveys I would be well below any of the lowest for the skills. The company seems cheap and will protect the company’s bottom line over you.

Thank your for your candid feedback. I am glad to hear that your first assignment was an enjoyable role and provided a rewarding work environment. While I don't know the details of your specific work situation, many times our teams are required to quickly reallocated resources based on the ebbs and flows of business requirements. The management team does the best they can do with the resources we currently have available. In many cases there is a perfect fit based on skills and compensation. In other cases the fit is not always perfect but the management team wants to try to utilize the team available and keep the resources assigned to billable work. This is especially true if they feel the resources can "step up" to the assignment.  This may inadvertently create a situation like the one you described. As a rapidly growing organization many times we ask people to take on additional roles and it takes some time for compensation/career levels to equalize. I hope you utilized some of the channels available to you to discuss your skills, compensation and future career path with the leadership team and HR.
