Clients are superb, but management is incompetent and negligent

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Clients aren't abused and definitely get the care they need, as long as the management cares enough to enforce it.

Cons

Management delegated almost all job duties to subordinates and makes us do their jobs for them, hired and promoted friends only, no communication between site workers and main office managers, resource management and lack of training occasionally borders on illegal, zero accountability so everyone abuses the system, quality of HR details (paycheck disbursement, etc) is abysmal. Don't ever be on call.

Opportunity for career moves within the organization. Interesting project work. Career progress is self-determined. Numerous office locations. CEO listens.

Cons

Slow to utilize new technology. Senior management bogged in stale mentality. Tiny budgets, oppressively high billable goals. Missing international communication.
