      Don't be fooled

      Pros

      My coworkers were the best.

      Cons

      Thoughtless plans. It is sad to say they have a good ole boys network. They removed commissions for at least four women with some selfish plan with a tiny bonus option. I was about to close a 2 mm deal which I would not get paid on only because it closed 15 days late. I lost a deal a few weeks earlier because they did not have resources to do the deal. 1.4 mm to start and more work we could move to us quickly since we had a great relationship. the change in plan had no thought since they removed solution architects and had no training planned for months on how to do our jobs for new business lines and growth. It is not the place to empower you to be better since I was limited with what I could do all along. Why would you move solution architects to a sales role? They do not want that.

      Was great in the beginning, but turned into a toxic corporate environment

      Pros

      Good work/life balance. Ability to work from home. Decent benefits and salary. There are some colleagues who are wonderful people and are talented at what they do. They pay for your exams/certifications.

      Cons

      New Signature preaches a company culture that they do not follow. For the most part, you will be just another cog in the wheel and most employees are expendable. Poor communication runs rampant with some middle managers and they lack transparency along with structure. A lot of office politics are involved and makes it difficult to get a promotion or higher salary raise. Lack of diversity throughout the company, especially in the higher up positions. There were some colleagues and managers that have made racial/culturally insensitive jokes or comments which is unacceptable.

      Worst place to work

      Associate director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Not anything I can think of.

      Cons

      Full of incompetent middle management who have been with company since they started their career ( Many more than 20 years) - Just because they belong to one region/language - Tamil. They wont let others to work. If you are Indian and not Tamil -- don't even think of joining this organization
