Pros

Although I am very new, I have loved working at Ghafari. All of my coworkers are great and the culture is very welcoming and friendly. There are lot of intelligent people around me that I get to learn from!

Cons

I haven't met other coworkers outside of my group yet just due to covid and not being in the office much, but I hope I can meet more people soon! No real issues at this time though.

Thank you for the feedback! We happen to agree that we have a lot of bright minds on the Ghafari team. We also miss seeing our teammates in person and hope to welcome back more of our colleagues to our offices in the near future.

Pros

There are some highly talented people here. Great high profile projects. Decent pay and benefits. Nice offices. Ambassador Ghafari is a true gentleman; however has stepped back from day to day operations.

Cons

Decisions of consequence are made by the Ghafari family...period. Don't cross the CEO or disagree with her, or you will be gone. Process group is on life support. Sometimes the voice of the customer is not listened too. Constantly getting "Best and Brightest" award by stuffing the ballot box.

While we appreciate all feedback, this review contains several inaccuracies that we’d like to address. Our Operations + Systems Engineering team (formerly called the Process Group) is thriving, working with clients across a variety of industries to elevate their productivity and efficiency. Our commitment to being a collaborative and trustworthy partner to our clients is among our core organizational values. We pride ourselves on being there for our clients. Responsiveness is a hallmark of our client partnerships, as evidenced by our near-40-year track record. Finally, we are proud of our consistent recognition as one of the “Best and Brightest Companies to Work For”, an award honoring companies that are innovative in motivating their team members, excel at employee relations, and represent best practices in human resources. This annual awards program is administered and managed by an independent research firm – it isn’t possible to “stuff the ballot box”.
