Pros

Company is really hitting the market hard and sells you on their year over year growth. Opportunities greatest for go getters who feel they can make a decent impact within 6-9 months.

Cons

Will not work a lot of requirements if it doesn't stack up to what others are bringing in.

Thank you very much for your candid feedback. We are indeed proud of our year-over-year growth, and I'm gratified to see that you recognize the opportunity for go getters to make an impact. I appreciate your advice to management. Its tricky, because I'm obviously not sure exactly what conversations took place, but for the record, I fully agree with you - $1mm in commission, while certainly possible at Softworld, isn't our norm and I'm genuinely sorry to see that you felt "lured" in if it was presented as such. We should have talked with you about our 50+ person recruiting engine, the fact that we have people working for us in 35 states and the fact that more than half our sales team (including 80+% of people here 2 years or longer, spanning every line of business we have) average Gross Profit run-rates ranging from $500 K - $3 MM. Our company isn't for everybody, and I appreciate you publicly sharing your truth regarding your tenure. If there's any more specific advice or thoughts you'd be willing to share that will help us better understand your experience, I can be reached directly at 781-373-8452. Thank you again for your candor.

Pros

Excellent pay, top quality respectable client, highly motivated very smart team, management listens and responds to fix wrongs.

Cons

No remote work, claustrophobic office environment with no personal space. There are many instances of the customer doesn't know what they want.

First and foremost, thank you for your review! We take great pride in building our Onshore Development Centers, and that includes putting the best possible consultants in the available seats and teams, as well as listening to and acting on feedback from the organization. For many of our Onshore Development Centers, especially ones such as our Plano, Texas facility that Softworld designs from scratch based on customer specifications, we are instructed by our client to configure workstations and teams via a mandated layout. We are aware of a Development Center environment sometimes yielding less personal space, which is why we encourage our Consultants to take full advantage of the private phone booths, breakout rooms and lounge areas as needed. While I cannot attest to the specifics of customer confusion you’ve mentioned, we will always aim to refine and communicate ongoing business goals as clearly and timely as possible. Please feel free to reach out directly to me if that situation changes and/or if you’d like to discuss any further specifics. I can be reached at 781-833-0275 or smackenzie@softworldinc.com.
