terrible - Consultant bei Tefen: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Mostly I would like to back the extremely anonymous review by the Director from the New York office. You are given more than a chance in this company; you are handed the responsibility to break barriers and reach uncharted territory, both professionally and in a personal sense. You get so much space - but then there is always someone who makes sure you don't float out into it and grounds you. At the highest level, the direction and feedback you will get (and you will get it) is an often surprising mix of open-mindedness and very blunt, pointed directness. If you can take constructive criticism for what it is, and at the same time maintain patience with some of the administrative hurdles that can come along the way, you are bound to develop both personally and professionally. They key factor, though, is that success or failure depends on you - not entirely, but to a very large extent. You will have a real say and will make a real impact. To me, that fact alone merits Tefen 5 stars.

Tefen is a family, and like any family it is imperfect. Still, though, I can not imagine a better place to grow.

- Maybe you get lucky and meet people at other places to work. - The other consultants in the office and people that do the day-to-day work are all bright and enjoyable to work with.

- Salary is paid monthly, not twice/month like most other consulting firms. - Salary is often paid in the WRONG amount. - Expenses are often late and wrong; in some cases expenses NEVER get reimbursed. - Internal systems don't exist to support expense management, time reporting, and other HR practices that are standard at other firms. - In the U.S., the company pails in comparison to other consulting firms. Pursuits are not 'sold' on the work of the company but rather falsely led to believe the company is capable of work it is not. The company is desperate for any and all business and struggles to get even that. - Management is not interested in the growth of it's employees, just about making sales and farming out consultants. - The company does not have a proper office, it's essentially a closet in another company's office. There are no windows, and two small rooms to work in. This is no place to work. - Management if of the opinion they can BS their way through any project. They have no integrity as a consulting firm and represent everything wrong with the industry.
