A decently managed IT solutions company

Senior business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Rational, problem-solving focused, and minimal interference in work.

Cons

Can be pragmatic to the point of cold-heartedness. Due to being cost-focused, contract was significantly underbid and understaffed, leading to stretching of resources. Benefits are very minimal.

Simply not worth the lack of opportunities and minimal pay

Administrative secretary

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Hard to say any if at all. I get a paycheck (that took months to be paid correctly)

Cons

No wage increase despite others making way over SCA limits, no adjustments for cost of living, same people recognized for doing bare minimum, insurance premiums are insane, no allowance for unpaid leave, PM totally unaware of what even happens on the contract, no one in upper management takes accountability for mistakes and contractors are blamed, many inadequate hires made just to have a warm body
