Hi, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Transiris, and I'd like to address a few things you talked about in your review. You mentioned that consultants are promised projects and let go when they finish a project. I'm sorry that you feel this way, but we never promise projects will happen at a certain time, and unfortunately there is occasional down time when consultants are not utilized and instead help out on internal projects. Also, hiring someone for a project and then letting them go once finished is something that we have never done, except in very rare instances when someone is hired as a contractor for a specific project, rather than a full-time employee. We have never let a talented, qualified full-time consultant go for lack of project work. Consultants have been let go due to personnel issues, not lack of work. You also mentioned that employees are expected to be available at all times. This is not the case. Employees are expected to be available during regular business hours, although the focus is more getting the work done rather than what hours you work. Consultants may find that they need to be available during the client's business hours (for ex., a consultant on EST may need to shift his/her schedule to accommodate a client on PST), but this is common in consulting work. Regarding structure, you're right, we did not have a hierarchy structure set-up until recently as we were a small company that observed a flat management structure. We grew significantly in 2016, and decided to implement a management structure and a few formal processes in Fall 2016. As a small but growing company, we've had some growing pains as we scale our processes (as most companies do), but we've made a lot of great changes to get things on track. You mentioned that many people work remote and may feel isolated. This often occurs for remote consultants who are not on projects and it's understandable that you might've felt isolated. We're doing things to correct this as well, including encouraging our employees to have lunches with their colleagues. We also just had a retreat for all of our Europe employees, and are planning a similar retreat for our North America employees to get everyone fro different locations together. We're actively working to find solutions in this area as well. Again, I'm sorry you had a bad experience, and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!
