Urban Science reviews

If you are good at your job you will rapidly find yourself in a Catch-22 situation where you can't be promoted because you haven't done a particular certification course, but you can't go on the internal certification course because your work is too important for the time off to be approved. This leads to a situation where good employees regularly leave for other opportunities while sub-par "lifers" slowly work their way up the ladder and compound the problem by treating new talent as a threat. Some of the career paths are extremely limited because there's a prevailing attitude of, "that is done in the Detroit office, and can only be done in the Detroit office" - even if there are talented people capable of opening up huge amounts of new business in the branches, the head office is very closed-minded and sees this as a threat more than an opportunity.

The young talent in the company is great, unfortunately they will leave as soon as they figure out they are wasting their time. If you are looking at a job as a Sr. Manager, forget this place, you will never move up and you will be so frustrated with your managers that you will want to quit every Monday morning. Their Technology is old, like decades old, and because the developers that have been there the longest don't hire anyone smarter than themselves, you can only image the junk they produce. And yes, this is the Long Beach office and well as the Detroit office.
