Vantaggi

IT Academi with good teachers, and career matrix in good condition.

Svantaggi

Companie has a very bad security level, a lot of security information on machines with viruses and easy access, and you can get a lot of issues like it: Microsoft, IBM, and Deutsche bank were seriously damaged by sharing their source code in torrents for public. The company doesn't think about employees and works with a black list approach for each employee and tries to control all IT companies in the region with the IT Cluster by sharing personal information with their black list which is not legal and employees can't see any feedback in this blacklist (70% there is fully lie by feedbacks from friends). By the cluster in the region, every company should follow this blacklist or they will have problems with all participants in the cluster. The Career matrix is good, but after passing, all checks for employees will not get the new position because it's required more salary and isn't good for the company. In my story, I passed all requirements for the English level and 26 topics for knowledge evaluation at 100% (required only 70% for the next level and 100% for 2 levels) and was fired from my job after 3 days and any company in the region didn't want to work with me after this situation. I got a message from the company that my client wasn't happy with my work (where i was in the architecture team and created a fully new top product for the client, where I was 3 years) and it's the main reason for firing me (strange why it happened after passing exams for 2 levels more than I was in the company), I was thought that it's maybe true and leave this company, after 3 months I got feedback from this client in LinkedIn, and there was another context like I am very good and created a great product (so it means that company didn't want to pay more for my skills). Money profit with lying to the client it's a normal way for the company, a lot of really juniours without experience are presented like architects to the client where the client is paying 70$ per one hour, but the real salary for the employee not more than 15$ per hour. In management, you can see a lot of young people, like girls with age 20 years and responsible to control all projects from clients, but generally, they don't have any knowledge of the client domain and technical part, main job for them it should be friendly with any client and speaking very good (for getting the possibility to catch client for a long time, and get money without any results), and they call it soft-skills (for the company it's a first argument to getting new employees and no matter if the employee knows how to turn on pc or not).

Hi. We see that you are very disappointed and angry about leaving SoftServe. Did you take advantage of your exit interview with your managers, HR BP team to bring some clarity to our particular case? If you still have some unresolved questions, we suggest you contact us and talk one more time to make things fully clear. For SoftServe, data security has been a cornerstone of our business, especially after the cyber-attack that happened in 2020. We continue to be partners with all the companies you’ve mentioned because our clients have never suffered from this or any other attack. Our employee satisfaction is growing as you can see that we have one of the highest ratings at Glassdoor. Our eNPS is 84, which also proves that SoftServe is a people-first company. During these war times specifically, we continue to care about our employees’ safety, development, and happiness. Our participation in the IT Cluster is aimed to develop our industry, region, and education and we have never shared any personal data about our associates, especially in so-called blacklists. At SoftServe, we provide equal opportunities for everyone, and treat our associates without discrimination, especially as it applies to gender, race and age. As you highlighted in your review, we have a great IT Academy where we help improve both hard and soft skills. With robust internal educational programs, we ensure that our associates are qualified and well equipped to do the work that drives them.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
