Pros

- Smart, technically savvy people to work with - Good On-Boarding start up Base Salary – be sure to negotiate a good entry salary or regret it later. - Good Bonus - 3 weeks vacation to start

Cons

- Management has just given (July, 2010) special base pay increases (averaging 6-9%) to "Select Employees" in order to circumvent the growing attrition rate in the Hosting group. This is yet another example of Management's deceptive backroom dealings with the Cap. employees. - By doing so, they are insulting the other employees who haven't seen an increase in 3-5 years. - Guess they really do have the money to spread around and the economy has nothing to do with it. - They bring in millions in new engagements and cry poor to the employees. - Senior Management is only focused on their own paychecks and could care less about their subordinates. - HR/Senior Exec Team denotes "Sales Contributions" as the #1 performance indicator in MVP to keep the masses down at overall "3" levels. Not everyone is directly connected to Sales(We're sure you already knew that - jokes on us, right?) In fact, most people in Hosting have no connection to sales whatsoever except for the VPs($250k av). And that's where most of the group's compensation goes. Foundational, Transformational, Overall??? WTF??? - Note to HR: This borders on employee harassment. Can I pay someone to fill out my Mid-Year Performance Review?

Pros

there are no pros for this company

Cons

I was laid off after spending several months on the bench, with "lack of available projects" cited as the reason. However, another consultant in the same role who was also without an active client engagement was retained. As a woman and racial minority, I could not ignore the disparity in how these decisions appeared to be made. Before my termination, I reported being recorded without my consent and raised concerns about conduct that I believed reflected implicit bias. I was referred to as "URM" instead of by my name or role, encouraged toward race based employee resource groups rather than meaningful career opportunities, and repeatedly advocated for fair project placement while on the bench. My employment ended shortly after I raised these concerns. Following my termination, I pursued the matter through the appropriate internal and legal channels. I provided documentation supporting my concerns and gave the company multiple opportunities to investigate and resolve the issues. Rather than meaningfully addressing the evidence or acknowledging the seriousness of the allegations, the company denied wrongdoing, offered what I viewed as a nominal severance, and declined to accept accountability. Employees deserve confidence that concerns about discrimination and retaliation will be investigated objectively and fairly. My experience left me with the opposite impression.
