First of all, thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that there was flexibility in your schedule thanks to the beauty of a remote office! However, it is upsetting to hear the words “prejudice” and “ethnocentric”. If you are still employed with us, I would encourage you to speak with HR about these acts. We are here to listen and take action. However, if your employment status is “former”, then I only wish that communication was brought to the attention of the appropriate individuals while you were with us. In any organization, making these kinds of intolerances “known” are key so that we can resolve them as soon as possible. As a renowned and recognized minority business enterprise, we think of diversity and interculturalism as a valuable and unique component of our organization. Working at Telamon, employees absolutely encounter and work alongside individuals from all around the world. We pride ourselves on being an organization that functions interculturally, but of course, it can come with challenges, whether that is a language barrier, body language barrier or other behaviors that can cause miscommunication. Regardless, it is a learning curve. Moving forward, we will continue to do our due diligence to mitigate those intolerable acts and improve our methods of resolution. We greatly appreciate your feedback!

Pros

* Decent Pay * Decent systems (everything was ok managed on that end) * Ability to move up

Cons

* Office politics, to the point it was almost high school like. * Management was the single cause of all it. * If you spoke with someone on the phone, but didn't get it in an email, well it might as well has never happened as far as anyone else is concerned. * Everyone has this favorite group, and their least favorite group and they actively try to push their favorite over the others...it was literally competition internally and not in the productive way. * The higher ups were less concerned about our side of the company and barely every made a presence. In fact I have never even seen the CEO no matter how many times I went to HQ.

Thank you for your review! We have increased our size in employees, business units, and acquisitions, so it is great to hear that our company has maintained that small company vibe that you speak of. In the last 10 years, we have attained 4 new business units. That’s a lot! Every day, our employees work diligently within their business units to improve capabilities, and innovate new ideas, plans, and execution of business. However, we recognize that “fragmented-culture” does exist in some ways, but we are making strong strides to cultivate the Telamon name, and continuously improve our efforts as one unified organization. We welcome any additional feedback as we make more profound initiatives in developing our organization further. Thank you!
