      Company values on employee

      Operations program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Management teams are very transparent on benefits and on company values. They are quick to response to any questions you may have and provide appropriate supports for to succeed. Company plans morale events for all employees to get together for fun and support each others. Also, the pay is better than other vendor companies out there.

      Cons

      Majority of their projects are with Microsoft. If you work in a non-managed service projects, you have to leave every 18 months for 6 months due to Microsoft new vendor policies. They need to expand to other IT firms besides Microsoft.

      What a mess.

      Transcriber
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible hours, not having to deal with the public, relatively quiet environment. The job itself is easy to get, because it's not terribly difficult to do.

      Cons

      I don't even know where to start. This company is just a trainwreck. Management is laughably incompetent, which is weird when you consider that's like half the people who work here. The people who negotiate contracts might as well be an inanimate object for as effective as they are. The people who actually do the work we're contracted to do keep having their productivity requirements raised, without a raise in pay, so they can keep paying their bloated management, and they're surprised when half the team quits every other month. There's just too many people hanging around and absorbing paychecks without having to produce a good or provide a service. If corporations truly were people, this person would be more parasite than human. I'd recommend just working for our clients directly instead of wasting time here.

      Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you work experience did not meet your expectations even though the work environment and flexibility seemed suit you well. As a rapidly growing organization, many times your experience can be more reflective of your immediate team and work environment rather than the company as a whole. I hope you used some of the internal channels available to you to express some of your concerns prior to leaving so HR and the leadership team are aware of your comments and had an opportunity to address the situation. It is always disappointing and costly to lose good, highly productive employees.

      Another slimmy contract agency

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
