TCG, Inc. reviews

Thank you for taking time to write a review! We appreciate it! Our training approach is to provide a budget for classes and conferences and to let our employees decide which classes to take and which conferences to attend. When TCG needs someone to take a class or get a certification, that typically does not come out of the training budget, and we also cover time. But when the training is being taken so the employee can advance their skills and prepare for their next job, we like to ensure the employee is contributing to their own advancement. For people early in their career, we cover this cost as well, but for those advanced in their careers, we believe it is incumbent upon these professionals to ensure they are staying abreast of the latest technologies and techniques. Your career is a partnership between your company and yourself, but we believe the focus should be on making your own path. As to our size and advancement, you’re absolutely right. But we are growing pretty fast (though carefully), so hopefully, your ideal move is coming soon!

What a great review, thank you! We do hire good people; you’re absolutely right! It’s not easy to do - we reject some 98% of applicants, and hiring can take longer than we would like. But the proof is in the pudding, and that pudding is definitely part of our “secret sauce” (to mix gastronomic metaphors). At the moment, all our clients want people offsite (we currently have exactly one person - who prefers to be onsite - onsite at a client). We anticipate that changing a little, so we are planning for that possibility, but we don’t see clients wanting people back full-time onsite anytime soon. That said, while we have always been a “telecommuting first” company (for 28 years!), our clients have needs (and they do pay the bills), so we need to do what we can to meet those needs. If there’s any upside to the pandemic, it made people recognize how productive they can be when working from home. We have been trying to educate clients about the concept for decades, but there’s nothing like first-hand experience to prove a point. Hopefully, the lessons of the last few years will prove long-lasting. Thank you for the glowing review!
