Wonderful - Software Tester Inspired Thinking Group Employee Review

The people you work with and the sense of team is the one of the best things about itg; we work hard but have incredible pride in our work and the level of service we deliver to our clients. In the US the company provides a generous benefits compared to other similar businesses (e.g. 20 days vacation for all team members and a generous health insurance package). Lots of other small benefits that all add up. Personal development isn't spoonfed but it is available and those that work hard, focus on the customer's needs and have a great attitude are recognized. Being a small team, the opportunities to learn are significant as you can get involved in lots of different projects. Being autonomous and showing leadership and ownership is valued by management. In such a large business with many remote teams, the benefits experienced will be specific to the particular role and team, but my employment has been incredibly positive over the years I have worked for the business! Excited for what's to come!

I don't specifically have a con, but we all work hard, and sometimes have to take a pause to reflect on all the great work we have delivered (as it is easy to forget the successes when we are straight on to the next project!) As with all client-facing roles, there is sometimes a need to be reactive and put in extra hours, but this is expected in this field and doesn't have to be a negative. The effort is always recognized.

• Fully remote • I loved the work, my boss, and my team (but the client was allowed to run wild) • Promotes diversity (but the formerly robust DEI program at PureRed silently vanished when ITG took over) • Unlimited PTO policy

I was a victim of the sixth or seventh round of of layoffs within under two years—and there's been another round this month—due to "offshoring" jobs ("rightsizing", "competing in a global marketplace", "globalization", "nearshoring", blah, blah, blah). ITG f/k/a PureRed cares FAR more about money than people. They're axing very talented, hard-working, and driven people only to replace them with cheaper labor in South America and South Asia (while claiming "it's not about cheaper labor"). The company's goal is absolutely to replace all subexecutives with "offshored" labor. ITG claims to be different and better with claims of "transparency" and a "culture of kindness", but they're just like all the other corporate machines with cronyism, high-paid executives (some of whom who get golden parachutes after mergers and buyouts), very low-paid worker bees, and a bunch of lip service. I've never been more disappointed in a company. Just be evil and own it. Stop lying to everyone. And PLEASE stop the crocodile tears, leadership. Have some self-awareness. You've axed people who make very little money in one of the worst job markets in years. Spare us the theatrics.
