CQG, Inc. reviews

In addition to the full-time employee positions I have had, I have also worked as a contractor and consultant for years so I have had the opportunity to see the culture at tens of companies. Sadly CQG is one of the worst places I have ever seen for how it treats its employees. CQG takes full advantage of their ability to fire at will. CQG's management is poor at organizing work and managing the work assigned to people. CQG's management is not good at honest professional communication about work results. Management displays favoritism towards some employees and decisions/evaluations are excessively influenced by these personal relationships. As a result, CQG has a very high turnover in staff as employees get blamed for problems or negatively perceived and are very quickly fired by the company. I was constantly amazed at the top talent that came and went through the doors at CQG. Management's attitude that employees are disposable extends to other aspects of the work environment. While CQG can provide good on-the-job skills development and will invest in training for things that are a company priority, management is not supportive of training needs identified by employees unless the employee is a favorite. Likewise, CQG is very willing to try new things such as new technologies, new processes, new tools, or new designs when it is a management idea but the company is not open to suggestions from employees. If you're looking for a company with good pay and interesting work and don't mind the risk of being summarily fired, CQG may be a good fit. If you are good at blending in or think you can become a favorite, you may be able to succeed at CQG.

Lack of advancement Pigeonholing Medical benefits are subpar The company professes a commitment to innovation, but don't provide an atmosphere conducive to it; as a result they are bit behind on technological advancement. Compensation was fair, but nothing to get really excited about. Middle management shake-ups make it difficult to know who is reporting to whom about what... Poor project management often left local middle managers holding the ball on implementation as well as project management duties A great deal of communication issues arise from having a majority of the development community based in a foreign country.
