Pros

When I first interviewed with Cielo, the internal recruiter I worked with was fantastic. She followed up with me regularly until she had an opening that was exactly what I was looking for. I was very impressed by her ability to stay in touch throughout the hiring and onboarding process. Cielo met my salary request and offered bonus potential as well.

Cons

Once I was an employee, the workload was brutal and the metrics were virtually impossible to achieve because there were so many internal meetings and problems with software/hardware. I experienced constant badgering by a sadistic manager who did everything possible to make me fail including micro managing, bullying and displaying a condescending attitude toward every recruiter on our team. A normal work week was 60 to 80 hours. I worked many nights until 10 pm to achieve metrics. I worked every weekend just to keep up.

Hi, this is Tara Cassady, Senior Vice President of Client Services. I would like to learn more about the comments you shared. I don’t want any of our teams members to be experiencing what you outline. I do know we are a metrics, goal oriented organization, but that has to be coupled with great leadership and work experience. I would ask that you contact me directly and allow me to further explore your experience. Please call me at 262-439-1428 or send me an email – tara.cassady@cielotalent.com.

Pros

Unlimited PTO Remote work Work/Life balance

Cons

Layoffs every year and sometimes mutiple times a year (sometimes announced and sometimes quietly but teams talk). Have seen way too many good colleagues get let go to get back filled in a low cost geo that turn out to not work out. Every single day I dread getting a meeting invite from my manager or P&C that I'm being let go. Talking with others on my team and on other client teams, we all feel that way. No bonuses anymore. I dont think I've ever had more than 50% of my bonus in all my time here. Merit raises are low 1-3%.

Hi, this is Cherice Schmidt – EVP, Client Services. Thank you for your candid feedback and for your five years of dedication to Cielo. I appreciate you highlighting the positive aspects of our workplace flexibility, including unlimited PTO and remote work options. However, I am deeply concerned about the anxiety and uncertainty you're experiencing regarding job security and compensation. I want to acknowledge the impact that organizational changes have had on you and your colleagues. While we must make difficult decisions to remain competitive in our evolving market, we understand these changes affect real people and their families. Your feedback about compensation, particularly regarding bonuses and merit increases, is heard and valued. We regularly review our total rewards structure to ensure competitiveness, and your specific concerns about healthcare costs and merit increases will be carefully considered in our ongoing evaluations. The perception that there's inequity between leadership and staff compensation is concerning, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We strive for transparency in our decision-making processes, and your feedback helps us identify areas where we need to improve both our communication and our practices. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific situation and concerns in more detail. Please reach out to me directly at Cherice.Schmidt@cielotalent.com.
