Pros

Central location Good package (if you negotiate hard for it) Some big name clients which can be good on your CV

Cons

It's not really a consultancy, just a recruitment outfit which bill you out to clients If on the bench it can come tiresome spending time writing out blogs or doing research No career progression opportunities

Pros

Everyone at Xceed is great to work with - both peers and management. Management team is very open and concerned about their employees. The high quality of personnel makes me feel very fortunate to be a part of the team.

Cons

No U.S. HQ location. Jobs are work from home, which is also a pro. But it would be nice if there was a place for everyone to meet from time to time.

Pros

Honestly, cannot say there were many pros's. All the talk of family and close culture is a farce. If you are a former IBM employee you might have a better chance at being an insider. If you're not an "insider" project details and direction come only by insisting on it and then at a cost to you.

Cons

First off, the American division of Xceed is not really guided or inline with the UK side. I hear the UK side has its ducks in a row. But honestly in my tenure here, I encountered almost every possible HR/Ethics violation. A real HR department's worst nightmare. Management sleeping with Account Managers, conflicts of interest in every direction, no resources to complete or begin work. I cannot stress enough, don't swallow the cool aide, just stay away.

At Xceed Group, we take concerns and complaints very seriously. I am disheartened to hear that your experience at Xceed Group did not end on a positive note. Our management team strives to make Xceed Group a place where employees feel appreciated and valued and have every opportunity to flourish and grow. With the use of our employee survey, we are constantly measuring our employee satisfaction to ensure we are positioned to respond. We are always looking for ways to expand and improve upon one of our company goals which is making Xceed a great place to work. We value the importance of “work life balance” and we are always looking for ways to improve upon this. Xceed Group also takes any HR issues very seriously. We always encourage employees to contact the HR/Operations department or a trusted member of the Leadership team, if they feel they have been treated inappropriately or if they witness inappropriate behavior inside the firm. All HR matters are kept confidential and investigated thoroughly. We thank you for sharing your story and wish we were made aware of your issues sooner. Please contact us if you would like to provide us with additional information about your situation. We wish you the best in your next endeavor. Maureen Rowley US Resourcing Manager
