TEKsystems reviews

Non competitive pay for entry level folks, dumb and conflicting rules for different teams, AI becoming the default for handling situations which is not akin to the core values.

TEKsystems conducts an internal survey every year to see how their employees are doing, and they actually share the survey results with everyone (which is surprising). The survey touches on 20 different categories of employee satisfaction, and they separate the answers from employees into 3 different categories of tenure (1-3 years, 3-6 years, 7+ years). The responses are colour coded as a scale of blue to red, in which blue is overly positive scores, and red is dissatisfied/negative scores. In the results, across 20 categories, employees of 1-3 years are extremely happy, but as you move through the responses you see a trend that the longer someone is there, the more unhappy they become. Every single response from the 7+ years group is extremely dissatisfied in all 20 categories except for pay, where they are only moderately dissatisfied. The company in the 5 years I was there made 3 different pay scale "adjustments" meaning that they reduced our commission and made it harder to succeed. They are not transparent around the reason why either. In the short term it is fun, but eventually you are locked into golden handcuffs and you can't leave. There are a few really good directors and managers, but overall the Director in Canada is extremely unaware to how he comes across and cannot hold himself responsible for the damage he does to his team. This has a rippling effect across all of Canada to other managers and directors, which turns great managers into bad managers - further influencing their survey results in the negative direction for senior team members. Until management changes their approach, or themselves, the TEKsystems Canada will continue to flounder.
