Pros
The people working at Artech are smart, hard-working, and skilled, but low salaries and poor directions by upper management hinder their growth and cause a high turnover rate.
Cons
- Long Hours and Little Compensation: Employees have been told that they cannot eat lunch together and are influenced to eat lunch at their desk instead. Salaries are well below market value and working hours are much longer than a 8 hour work day. - High Turnover Rate: No one ever stays at Artech. The moment they realize what a bad situation they are in, they start looking for a new position. - Unrealistic Targets: Sometimes 5 or 6 times higher than what has ever been achieved. Bonuses will be based around this so they are never received. - Poor Direction Provided to Off Shore Team: The turnover rate in the India office is much higher than in the U.S. and mainly new college graduates are hired so there is a constant need to train people with no work experience on a constant basis. Candidates constantly are frustrated by the communication difficulties they have speaking with the employees in India and receive emails that are grammatically incorrect.
