Risposta di ETQ
10yThanks for providing feedback. I’d like to address some of your concerns. Although we do measure utilization rates of our professional services group, we also believe the company goal of 55% utilization provides flexibility to maintain a work-life balance. I’m happy to share that every eligible member of our Professional Services group received 80% or higher of their MBO bonus payout last year. In fact 75% of all non-management employees received 90-100% of their potential bonus.
Concerning salary, staying in line with the market is of the utmost importance to us too. Every year we run an independent salary analysis for our professional services team and any member we find to be making lower than fair market compensation is pro-actively given an adjustment. I assure you, this is no bluff. We’ve done this as recently as October of 2015. If you feel this hasn’t happened in your case, or we missed something, I would urge you to reach out to your direct manager and let them know your concern.
EtQ provides our professional service team members the opportunity to grow into a business analyst role much quicker than most other companies. EtQ does put team members in a position to receive very compelling offers from some of the world’s largest technology firms, and this does lead to some turnover. We hire some exceptionally talented and smart people and we would love for all of them to continue to grow their careers within our organization. The reality is that even though our business growth is exceptional and that growth provides for tremendous growth opportunities for our team members, there are going to be circumstances where it just makes sense for an individual to take on a new outside opportunity. Although this can at times present some business challenges, we take a lot of pride in keeping in touch with our tremendous alumni and enjoy observing their successes, be it here or elsewhere. We are truly grateful for the people that have helped make EtQ the company that it is today and if we’ve been a small part in helping those individuals find long term success in their careers it’s truly a win-win.
As I stated earlier, I do appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. If you wish to discuss any of these issues, or any other potential concerns under the same anonymity as this site, with my personal promise of no negative employment repercussions, please feel free to reach out to me directly or stop by my office and see me at any time.
