Pros

Some ability to work remotely

Cons

Re-reading the negative reviews is like reliving every horrible day working for this employer. This company has all the bad qualities of a cut-throat agency and a mindless monolith - where busywork is a replacement for productivity. It seems that without the faintest knowledge of the local labor market, Cielo makes unrealistic promises to the client, then puts inexperienced, unqualified and unprepared resources on the project. I was not surprised when after a few months, a co-worker confessed she cried every day. It’s not worth the flexibility of working remotely, when you must spend 12-16 hours days barely keeping up with unrealistic demands. And, without any acknowledgement by the way; it’s expected.

Thanks for taking the time to give your input. It’s really disappointing to hear that you had such a bad experience working for Cielo. I know we work hard and expect a lot from our leaders and our employees. To ensure we can flex to the increasing demands of our clients in this tough labor market, we’ve worked hard to structure our teams in a way that levels the workload and still offers a flexible work environment – for those based at headquarters, at home and at client sites. Sometimes we probably move too fast, and that sometimes finding the balance between client and employee expectations can be challenging, but at the end of the day, our people always come first. If ever we miss a step in delivering on that commitment, we offer many feedback forums – Leader lunch & coffee sessions, employee surveys, suggestion box - and our leaders’ doors are always open. The experience you describe concerns me and I hope you’ll reach out to talk more about your personal experiences with me. Please contact me any time at sue.marks@cielotalent.com. Sue Marks
