Kontras
No 401K matching -Managed Services management push for the advancement of specific people while everyone else sits idle. -Communication between management and consultants is very poor and usually comes after the fact. This has long been a problem. It seems that there is a "need to know" rule here and usually that rule doesn't apply to those who need to know, the consultants or Account Leads. -Pay is lower than industry standard. Even with high end certifications, they are not rewarded unless you are in the group of those that they want to see move up quickly. -Blackballing occurs if you provide any type of push back to a newly promoted member of management. At that point, several consultants have left the company because of this practice.
