Ciber Reviews

I have been working at Ciber full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Solid effort on the part of leadership to move Ciber toward solvency and predictable performance. More discipline has been added over the last year to manage performance. Holds staff accountable to hit goals and deliver.

Cons – Management style if very old school - motivational speeches are based on damnation and threats. Senior leaders are generally invisible to the staff outside of Denver. If you don't work in Denver you don't exist except when the numbers roll up - if you don't hit your number you're gone.

Advice to Senior Management – The good-old-boy leadership style (not DaveP) is old school. Get rid of the 'old-school' senior leaders and dead weight VPs (there ain't much strategic business development going on from where I sit). Need to hire senior leaders who know who to motivate and communicate.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I have been working at Ciber full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Prior to being run nationally, the Consultants were long-time employees and very competent, motivating bonus plan, strong management.

Cons – Now there is no employee loyalty. It is all about billing more hours, the bonus plan is a joke, very top heavy management

Advice to Senior Management – You are too focused on upper management. The consultants are dealing with your customers everyday, yet you show little respect for those consultants,

I worked at Ciber

Pros – Good Clients to work for.

Cons – Almost everyone in the administrative role whom I interacted with were freakishly slow to respond to you.

Advice to Senior Management – Respect other peoples time and their commitment while working for you. Please have an SLA for people to respond to voice mails or emails. If internal employees are not treated with care, what can one expect for outside world (prospective employee or client).
