Net@Work reviews about "colleague"

1. Do not care about product quality They just focus on the speed to finish the product and do not care about the quality. If you can find very quick way to finish it, they will say you should use that one, although it is wrong way. No testing technology(what they say about QA is just click here and there). 2. Low salary and no benefit The salary here is very very low( much lower than the average salary in industry). Never raising and no bonus. They even low down you salary because of some wired reason after you join the team. Bonus! It is a joke. 3. No career opportunity You can learning nothing here except using plugins. You can write you own module or plugin. But manager will ask you why don't you find a plugin or module from internet. If you have any idea about the feature, they will say don't write it by yourself and find a plugin to implement it. You will lose your passion if you work here. 4. Cheating For person, do not believe what they say to you because nothing is true. If manager made some mistake, they will say it is dev's problem. The estimate time of one feature or project are decided by PM or Consulting manager and never talk with devs. What they will say to devs, "you can find a plugin to do this. Oh it is very easy." 5. Keep you busy If the team does not have much work to do, the consult manager will find you to ask you to find something which can make some revenue by yourself for company to do. The culture of this company is "Keep you busy". 6. Messy and bad management Let one guy do everything ignoring his background (PM: coding). For project, PM decide what platform developer should use and what technology developer should use. If things goes wrong, it is developer's problem. They cannot guide people work harder and happily because their idea is to find a senior developer but can accept low salary. It causes lot of people quit the job and hardly find new developers. They still want to add more revenue therefore they add more work the current developers with poor project management. My feeling: if they want you, they will say nothing but if they do not want you, they will use some way(decrease your salary, do not give work to you, etc) to let you go. They will fire or lay off any employee without any notice or any package and ask you to leave in one hour. For good work environment, you can learn new things or you can get good payment with hard work. In this company, you can get nothing. It is very sad to say these word because I feel very happy to work with my colleague, they are very nice and friendly. But this is all I feel.

Zero work/life balance Over worked and under paid Culture from the top down was terrible. This is a place that cares more about making a penny than actually taking care of their customers or employees. It became an ethical and moral conflict for me to continue working there.

-Benefits could be better but they are actively working to improve the plans they offer -Unhappy employees often poison the well for new employees before they can form their own opinions

Billing is everything. The metrics used to evaluate performance still need work. Bonuses are annual, and can account for significant portion of compensation. Title changes in some departments seem rare. The health benefits package is on the lower range of average -- at least for me. I found better plans privately.

Had some good relationships with previous managers/directors. Current ones, not so much. I've learned to deal with revolving leadership in our business unit which is just a norm here. It appears however that talent is heavily undervalued, and people are just holding on in order to avoid being let go. The culture of support the business unit had between colleagues, that someone is able to help another that may have a skill set more suited to the task, has slowed to a crawl as there seems to be less of a focus on collaboration and more on procedures. Procedures can't cover everything, or there would be no need for engineers. Morale is low. Long time customers are becoming increasingly unhappy with extra levels of support added that are unable to solve issues.

With diversity of engagements, flexibility, growth comes a commitment to continuous learning and professional development. If you are not about that, Net@Work may not be the place for you.

Plan to work very hard. Understand that you may not feel properly compensated/appreciated.The focus on sales may diminish the results provided of a true solution architecture. Focus on selling solutions sometimes diminishing the ability to recommend the best solution.
