Pros

Good projects and nice people

Cons

They fired all people in Mexico as soon as COVID hit, the CEO insists he contacted everyone to come back after a couple of months but that's simply not true. He now claims he has more employees now than before COVID, but that's because he's hiring in a different country for different projects, all the previous efforts and people are not there. This sort of behaviour should be transparent. I remember a post just right after he fired everyone in Mexico saying that the company would be "helping businesses" with their needs during COVID, but that's obviously not a thing for the employees. On top of this, the payment rates are extra low for Mexico, no benefits, no holidays, no paid sick days. Only raw payment as a contractor to get a bit more money which is still at most half of what you can get with the competition. CEO obviously has plans for him and his company only

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, in times of a pandemic, tough decisions needed to be made. Your comments are factually incorrect and misleading. ObjectWave has had a presence in Mexico since 2005. Closing down was not an easy thing to do, but had to be done. I apologize for any hardship this caused you.

Pros

Friendly employees and colleagues. Made lot of good friends with colleagues.

Cons

No growth in career. You will be stuck with the same kind of pay, benefits when you started. Mostly work is consulting basis. So, you will be on bench doing inside projects which aren't fun when there are no active projects. There is no good marketing team which gets new clients/projects to work with. The vacation time, pay and 401K they offer are a joke.

Thank you for your review. We value your opinion and take your review seriously. Given your comments, you haven't been at ObjectWave for quite some time. We are going through a transformation and as a result many things have changed. Many things that you mention in your review no longer exist. What I can say is that ObjectWave has moved in a very different direction and has many opportunities for the right people. We are growing rapidly and moving in a very positive direction.
