It's almost 2018, not 1988 - Recensione dipendente - Project Manager presso FosterThomas

Travel policy - someone else makes your travel arrangements with little input from you. You could have to stay in a truck stop hotel or fleabag motel. You do not receive reimbursement for lunch OR incidentals when you travel for FT. Expense reimbursements take over 8weeks. There is no per diem. The mileage is reimbursed at a rate lower than the IRS standard. The expense reimbursement is done via excel spreadsheet. Bait and switch is what I experienced. Listed below are some of the broken promises made during the offer and acceptance - bonuses, 6 month reviews, & certification. There is a huge conflict of interest with having the PM also manage the SME's. Micromanaging: how quickly you should reply to emails, consistently going over scheduled time in meetings, last minute meetings for non-essential items, dictating shift start and end times, dictating every minute of time when on client site to ensure team only has enough alone time to sleep and shower. Consistent inconsideration of time in areas where consideration could be exercised to make the team comfortable and feel appreciated. There is the high likelihood of being laid off from your full time salaried position if your client doesn't buy your product. The lay off would be for the duration of the project which because of lack of guidance and failure to set proper client expectation, could extend far beyond scope. Corporate leaders come across as money hungry, thoughtless, careless.
