Pluspunten

There are some great people there who have great capabilities. Due to the great experience showcased, I was able to have better conversations with clients for more opportunity.

Minpunten

Some leadership is good. Some Key Leadership really do not care about people. It's Shocking. Poor communication, and utilizes fear to motivate. Doesn't seem to care that no one thinks you clearly articulate much of anything. As well, is so insecure won't listen to feedback and the Experts you hired to do well. Poor understanding of what's happening, not listening, and not clearly helping. (Orders to perform or else, is not leading.)

Thanks for sharing your feedback and acknowledging that we have some GREAT people, we would agree! As it relates to the Cons/Advice you have shared, we also recognize that there may be some who would benefit from additional leadership training and coaching. The development of a great leader happens over time and through the company’s continued dedication to training and our core values. We agree there is always room for feedback and improvement. This feedback comes from several proactive sources; direct managers and/or HR are involved in the feedback to ensure not only awareness but also development of our team leaders. Our culture is extremely important and as such, there has been an ongoing concerted focus as we explore the power of living our values through various methods. It’s a CEO mandate, (you probably saw this direct from him) – our values aren’t just words on paper, they shape who we are, how we act and drive our success both as a company and individually. Our headcount in the US is relatively small and while we are not required to provide severance packages, we strive to be transparent about our practices and amicably separate when we are faced with a situation warranting termination. The decision to separate an associate is only taken after careful evaluation by the leader and HR and while this may be disappointing, we do value the contributions made by all our associates during their time at SoftServe.

Pluspunten

Decent pay but you will be expected to manage multiple client projects at the same time in an expedited timeframe and are often flying solo. If you come from traditional consulting, these projects will feel insane and unrealistic to deliver true quality.

Minpunten

All about who you know, not what you do here. Expect to have to work at 150% capacity plus spend at least 50% of capacity networking. You will be constantly asked to deliver with unrealistic timelines. People (i.e. business analyst group) are constantly stepping over boundaries and claiming work others with more expertise in a specific area should own. It is a constant cluster mess and I (as a junior associate) have been on my fair share of calls where leadership is yelling at each other about stepping into each other’s territories. I can only imagine what occurs on the pure leadership calls. Lots of people in director and above positions are on an egotistical trip and have zero interest in the team’s ideas, knowledge, or expertise. You will spend many phone calls just listening to the leader brag about themselves for 55 straight minutes.
