Pros

There are none. Run away from this company as fast as you can.

Cons

No strategy exists at all and direction of company is incoherent. Management can't make up their mind if they are IT Staffing, IT Services or a Digital Media company. Adea management team destroyed the Valtech culture after the acquisition by Valtech. The Adea CEO, CFO and HR are regularly hostile toward consultants. Former Adea management instituted the recruiting-centric culture that destroyed Adea to begin with.

Pros

Valtech is focused on some strong markets with good potential.

Cons

Management is leaving the Dallas office like the place is engulfed in flames!! I was a part of Delivery/staff augmentation and had less success than any position I have ever had. Sales people bring in a lot of numbers but nothing EVER comes out it as far as closes. It is all but impossible to make any money in this place. Client base is static and dwindling and absolutely no efforts are spent trying to open meaningful lines of revenue. Management is totally clueless and this fact is exploited by employees especially on the Sales/Marketing side. Their are no underlying processes or real structure and every day is a crap-shoot. There are a number of incompetent and/or totally unqualified people in key positions over Sales, Recruiting and Project Management who are huge deficits to any progress. This place is a Political landmine and everyone lives by the "I am first rule" Known issues are ignored and swept under the rug rather than resolved. There are ZERO repeatable processes and as someone pointed out results are never measured and mistakes are repeated. Sometimes it is like being stuck in limbo. There is NO PASSION in the Recruiting team and ONLY one person making any real money. Valtech has a lot of meetings and talks about finding ways to constantly improve but adhere to a strict "Head in the sand-Ignore it and it will go away' policy of apathy. Politically there is a "Us against them" mindset and everyone in Management has their own agenda with no regard for the employees. If you just want a place to draw a paycheck and watch a comedy of errors join Valtech.

Pros

Pays on time when you are in project.

Cons

HR, Management, Very bad marketing team.. I think there is only one person in marketing team and she does a horrible job. When you have a project in hand this company will transfer your H1 without any issues. They will make false promises that they will apply for green card and work on your compensation, etc, etc. As long as you are in a project they are not bothered. Even if you are not satisfied with the project and request to move to a new project they will never listen to you. As long as they are getting their money from the client they are fine. Once you are out of your project then they will start searching for a new project for you. Their marketing team is so bad they can't find a project anywhere in US for 2-3 months. And then they will start the harassing you saying that they will cancel your H1 as they did what ever they could do and they can't afford you. And by the way they wont pay you when you are on bench even though you are a full time employee. Hr will give you a stupid reason for not paying you. They will put you on leave. So after 3 months you will be fed up and look for a project and transfer your visa. They really don't care about the employees. I sincerely request not to transfer your visa to this company. They follow use and throw policy.
