He11 on Earth - Recensione dipendente - Senior Associate presso ProSapient

I think this company really preys on people who are just out of college. I stayed at this company for almost three years, enduring everything as it got worse and WORSE, because I thought that no other company would have me. Every day, I was told that I had no work ethic, no direction, that my managers were "disappointed" in me. I almost started to believe it--that I was such a lousy worker that I wouldn't be able to get another job, so I should just deal with what proSapient threw at me. THIS from a company that praised me for my numbers for the first year of my joining--that lauded my "consistency." If you're in this position--it's a TRAP. There are much better jobs out there. Jobs that will take you. Jobs that will NOT force or expect you to work over 40 hours a week for a salary that is barely liveable. Jobs that won't set unreachable metrics and hold you responsible for them. Don't let the fact that this is your first real job keep you from seeking better opportunities. If you stay at this job because you think it's you're only/best option, you are in a hostage situation. Promotion at this job makes people tyrannical. Probably because people even higher than your managers are on their case about how lousy their numbers are (because the numbers are unreachable). proSapient will not adjust their metrics. YOU need to adjust--by working later hours, by not taking lunch, by cold calling dozens of people every day with only the slightest chance that any of them will pick up. By being harder on the people who work under you. proSapient will do nothing about terrible middle managers, who create a miserable environment for the people under them. Because what matters is numbers. And men (because 99% of managers are men in their 20s who have never managed ANYTHING before) will try to get the numbers by scaring you, by intimidating you, by shaming you. My mental health improved a lot by leaving this place. Look for other options!
