Advice to Senior Management

Invest more in team cohesion, processes and training exercises.

Friendly environment,
Easy to gel in,
Mid-level management is understanding and help-full, although competencies and approach vary drastically from team to team

Cons

- No focus, vision
- Leadership is powerless, passionless and political
- There's a definite Lack of synergy, everyone on the top appears to have their own agenda
- Insecurity, and politics

Advice to Senior Management

Get some focus, get serious about the business,
Focus on customers, and above all be sure of who you want for customers.
Recreate the magic culture of the past!

Pros

It's a job with competitive pay. There are still some bright, intelligent people left that you may (or may not) get to work with.

Cons

Things started to take a significant slide downward after merging with Adea.

Management is unresponsive and uncommunicative. There was a failure to promptly and adequately communicate the lose of the contract with the client. Further, when problems arose, emails and phone calls would go unanswered for days or weeks at a time.

HR is also unresponsive to HR-related issues. After the Adea merge, there was an abrupt and sudden change in the time of policy. Vacation time was decreased by one week and constraining requirements were added to how and when time could be taken off. The worse part is, with the change came a new time tracking system. Vacation time from the old system was not transferred to the new system properly and this impacted *lots* of people. *Nine* months later, the issue is still unresolved. How the HR department is ran is unprofessional and quite possibly running things illegally. As it stands now, I am still waiting on my final paycheck (it's a week overdue). Due to the unresolved vacation time issues, the paycheck is significantly less than it should be (about 60 hours difference!)

If you're willing to work for a place that is unapologetic about the bottom line being more important than employees, than this is your place.

Advice to Senior Management

Communicate with employees better; respond to emails and phone calls in a timely manner. Fix the HR department since it's a complete mess.

Pros

No interference or checkups from Valtech.

Cons

No or very limited support from Valtech.

Advice to Senior Management

No matter how small your contract is support all employees the same.

Pros

Opportunities to work with a variety of clients - when there was work to do. Some great colleagues, all of whom now moved on to better companies.

Cons

Never a raise or bonus, totally incompetent management at all levels, complete lack of focus, no support for on-the-ground practitioners, no clue what agile means, no clue how to sell agile services, total lack of respect for the people doing the work.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop posting fake reviews! Shilling for yourselves is shameful and displays all of the traits that make Valtech a terrible place to work. Instead of making up fairy tales, devote your energies to improving the business and treating all employees with dignity and respect.

transport facilities need to change For the user flexible timings

Advice to Senior Management

Help us get the tools we need to perform better

Pros

The profesionalism and great colleagues

Cons

There is a lot to do and we need more good people, but I know Valtech is working on it

Advice to Senior Management

Keep it going!

Pros

- great work environment - great culture and people
- functioning as a "start up" of sorts in the US so there are may opportunities and room for advancement
- we have all new management and direction, a refreshing new brand and offerings in the digital consulting space, in addition to our existing solutions development and agile consulting offerings.

Cons

because we are operating like a start up of sorts, there is a lot of change and you have to be adaptive to that. I'm not sure if that is a con or not :)

Advice to Senior Management

none that I can think of
