Technology Automation & Management In Reviews

Discriminatory salary practices: single women with no children are offered less money for the same type job as men with families Bait and switch tactics:employees are offered one position but in reality will be working in an entirely different capacity,especially those that relocate for a job offer Termination at will: the company has the discretion to fire employees on the spot without provocation or previous counseling. The company will not allow the employee to take personal belongings but be removed by security. Company offers educational benefit package but employee incurs penalties. High turnover, headquarters is a cliquish environment, Project Managers pretend like they don't receive your communications (email, phone calls).

- Because the company is so small, you should expect to have to find another job yourself when a contract ends. There is no "bench" between assignments. - Atmosphere is cliquey. While what you know will help you here (see above), who you know will get you farther. For example, office assignments don't seem to be based on seniority. The choice, private offices just seem to go to management's favorites. - The company has a tendency to put inexperienced people in positions of authority. I found myself working under someone who, while extremely talented and intelligent, was not skilled at people management and was relatively inexperienced in general. - HR processes are not mature. For example, they had to lay off several people towards the end of their largest contract and did so with no notice and very limited severance (just a few days). They were mostly senior (and probably expensive) people rather than those who were performing poorly. - By the same token, gross incompetence is not dealt with effectively or swiftly. You should expect to have to work with and for people who aren't very good at their jobs and/or are lazy. While there are a lot of great people here, there is also a lot of dead weight.
