      A lot of opportunity …..if you are part of the in-crowd

      Delivery manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A lowly of opportunity to grow, upper management is amazing all the way from CEO and the Director of Training and Development. There is some potential for growth but be ready to jump through a lot of hoops.

      Cons

      There was one manager whom was overbearing, rude, disrespectful, if you were not part of their “in crowd “ you were berated, belittled. SOFTWORLD only cares about one thing and one thing only and it’s not their consultants or their recruiters, all that matters to them is money, it is not a job for a person with a family, if you are a single person and can go out and drink after work , okay with making decent money with hard work and no encouragement then this job will be perfect for you. They sure make you know if you aren’t a fit and force you out quickly and not quietly, if you are put on a PIP that means you have a countdown clock on how much longer you are there, they will tell you it’s a motivational tool to light a fire but your days are numbered.

      Hi - thank you for your candor, and I'm very sorry to hear that some of your experience was negative. There's obviously some very individualized feedback here, and I hope you addressed your concerns with any level of management, including HR , Supervisory and/or Executive teams. I can also be reached personally at 781-373-8452, and would appreciate any context. I fully agree on some of your critiques, an example of which is the importance of Town Hall style consistent communication, which we reinstituted company-wide this month. Beyond that, I'm open if you'd like to share more, am sorry that parts of your experience were negative, and I wish you success in all future endeavors.

      Pros

      It's a job that pays money. I like the company and people I work at. Not Softworld.

      Cons

      Disorganized. I was promised a raise and it's been a year. Nothing yet. Never listened. I've had 8 handlers since I started. I don't even bother learning their names.
