Really poor corporate culture

Recommend

Pros

Very smart people who have a passion for what they do.

Cons

The corporate culture is very poor. The owner of the company micromanages everything and treats employees like children. The organization is quite disorganized and poorly managed. The company has no direction and most of the "accomplishments" they say they have done are not true. When I was interviewed, they painted an image of the company that was not real. Finally, there is no room for growth.

Pros

Client location is close to my home. There is not many technical challenges. No steep learning curves. Management at client side wants out sourcing and is supportive.

Cons

There are so many false promises made when they hired me. I was hired as consultant on CRM and Microsoft dynamics. I ended up at a client where I support decade old applications with a team in India. These applications have nothing to do with CRM and Microsoft dynamics. Even though I and each team members in India are fully charged to one client, we are regularly asked to work on other projects for other clients during the hours billed to main client. This results in double billing and put a lot of pressure on us. The quality of the team in India is already very poor. This double billing further degrades the quality. I have to keep going in iterations and getting them to fix issues.

Typical start up

Recommend

Business outlook

Pros

The company is aligning itself towards CRM, Web, Mobile and Sharepoint. Although there is no reasonable size project company did or have in those technologies but significant efforts are being made to get into that space. There are some good techies there and tech discussions are very fruitful.

Cons

Typical start up where employees and contractors are pressed to work more than they are paid for. Expectation is to work after hours, over the weekend and in your personal time for free. When they hire people they over promise about working environment, learning opportunity, and career growth. In reality, techblocks is struggling and hunting for work in market and takes anything it gets at any rate to get an account. Employees ends up working on very old and obsolete technologies in tough working environment. That results in diffusion of skills and innovation, low moral, and absolutely no career growth.
