Pros

- Global carrier with a Tier 1 network. - Good marketing team. - Good BDR reps which will book first appointments for you.

Cons

Another big company that will most likely pack up and leave Canada like Target. - Opposite of what they market themselves. - Cant deliver anything within Canada. - Transparency is non-existent. - Outsourced support to India/Bulgaria. - No one takes any responsibility - you are indeed on your own. - The internal developed CMD (CRM) is the biggest waste of time. - The acquisition of Accelerated Connections was unsuccessful. Investors need to be aware of this! - All clients are unhappy. Majority of the day is spent dealing with issues. - Everyone is overworked. - Work-life balance? What's that? - Emotionally draining roller-coaster. - No cell-phone plans.

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience at GTT. Our rapid growth culture does present challenges at times across our global business and the pace at which we operate and integrate can create some stress for our people, systems and our clients. We remain focused on constantly trying to improve how we do things at GTT, including acquisitions and the corresponding integration process.

Pros

Experience dealing with projects in a global capacity.

Cons

Culture of acquisitions is exasperating. Everyone fears losing their job at any time. Sales engineers are horribly trained and seemed to be on PTO every other week. Design ENG team comprised of roughly three overworked and exhausted brilliant engineers who have no time to discuss project quality and success. Most people at the company need training. If you’re not resourcesful, you won’t get answers to deliver any service successfully.

Many thanks for taking the time to write your review. Our rapid pace of growth can be quite challenging at times, but we always strive to ensure our teams have enough resources to provide quality service to our customers. We also strive to ensure we attract and/or retain the most talented employees and train them continuously to keep pace with the constant change in our business that comes from our rapid growth. As you suggest, we could slow down and take a more comfortable path, but that would be inconsistent with our history, strategy and our long-standing successful approach to integration, and would risk making GTT become more like the large incumbent providers we are disrupting every day.
