Substantial opportunities to learn and grow your knowledge and skill set. Ability to collaborate with others around the world.

Salaries are not consistent with market values. Salaries have been frozen this year. More work than can possibly be done by the number of employees.

How can 2 good companies become one big failure?

Senior technical consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Our paychecks are not bouncing! These two companies (SGHE and Datatel) used to be great companies to work for, now the combined company is bottom of the barrel.

Cons

Awful morale, employees are being used and abused, salaries are frozen, benefits are being eroded, expected bonuses are not being paid out. Travelling consultants are being nickeled and dimed to death. Management claims to be investing in employee education, but that is only lip service. Good people are being laid off, better people are resigning on their own.
