good firm, great people - CRM II 0 Guru Sakonent Employee Review

Sakonent has a great work environment, and provides a great opportunity for people looking for a challenging, entrepreneurial experience. The executive team's extensive background in CRM provides a great opportunity for their consultants to learn and grow.

It's a growing company, there's always going to be challenges. But, so far I've seen the company adapt and respond to the challenges that they have faced.

Location of the office is great - WIllis Tower. Most of the on-shore PMs/BAs were great; we all got along, collaborated and supported one another, regardless of the fact that the company was treating us poorly. The offshore team was phenomenal until the mass exodus there happened. Then only a few of the high caliber employees stayed, but we were grateful for them.

No career growth to speak of for the onshore team. The few that were promoted were puppets, friends or relatives of management. In the time I was there, I think maybe 3 people were promoted. Management pretended to be transparent, but really weren't all that honest. HR was a joke - things told to HR in confidence were often relayed to management; unfortunately there was no "ombudsmanship" Reviews, bonuses, merit increases were a minimal. Many late night and early morning meetings to accommodate the offshore team. A lot of hours were required for the projects, given that you could be assigned to 7 projects. All that for low pay, wasn't worth it.
