Q-nomy reviews

Management in North America is stuck in their ways and while they do listen, it's difficult to get processes implemented. Changes take place in waves- can be waves of good or bad and this can lead to disillusionment among staff.

- Since this is a small business there are a lot of policies and procedures that have not been established. Comp days were an issue for me. At first I was told that if I caught a late flight back after a project I could take a half/whole day the following day. One month in and I was told this is not the case and that I had to use my accrued PTO. - No option to work from home. In this day and age if your job can be done entirely remotely this should be an option. Even if for only a few days a week. Especially if the company is in the IT/Software industry. - Upper management tends to micromanage. - No Health Insurance. They give you an allowance every month to assist with insurance, but not as good as having an HMO or PPO. - No 401k and obviously no matching since there's nothing to match. - Lack of new employee training. I felt like other offices had better training opportunities than I did. There needs to be more back-end software training. - A lot of company politics in play. I left this company mainly because I thought I wasn't compensated enough for the amount of hours I put in. It's one thing to have a salaried position that pays well and you have a work life balance. It's another when you are taking support calls up until midnight and not getting paid for it because you are salaried. Some of the other reasons were that there was no health insurance or 401k offered. When you're young these things don't matter but if you have a family or want to start saving for retirement it matters. If they offered enough salary to compensate for lack of health insurance and 401k I may have stayed.
