      New Employees Beware - More than meets the eye

      Developer

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Down to earth small team that is ready to help should you ask; - Interview was based mostly if you are a good fit in personality for the team, and less on skills - this was a red flag from the get go; - Team is full of self starters; - Additional training will be subsided; - Lax dress code (tshirt and jeans normally), so you can leave suit at home; - There are some awesome clients you will work for; - Salary package is competitive; - HR department has a very supportive representative/s

      Cons

      - Firstly, they have a RIDICULOUS 6 month "probation" period, in that should you do anything that is viewed as remotely wrong in the eyes of the directors, you'll be shown the door along "you didn't have the necessary experience we seek", instead of telling you what skills you need to work on. I've had colleagues who are in their 5th month of employment asked to leave... Any subsided training you will need to pay back should you leave prior to your probation period; - Roles and responsibilities not clear until second week of employment. I didn't know if I was to be in sales, dev or chopping salad when I started; - No set career progression, with very little direction. There's a huge difference between spoon-feeding and giving clear direction. If you're not a self starter you will struggle here; - Some of the sales team behave as though they are still in high-school; wouldn't recommend if you are after strict professionalism/courtesy. They will tell you your timeline of when things are due 3 days in advance; - Zero guidance if you are meeting your targets or not (goes hand in hand with roles and responsibilities); - Zero standardisation on re-usable templates, installation guides or other thins that can speed up productivity; - You will be working on computer hardware from the 80's

      GLiNTECH Response

      Thank you for your detailed review. I am sorry that you felt unheard while you were at GLiNTECH as we strive to have an open door policy. I waited till we had action-ed our new staff induction strategies to respond to this review. We have changed our induction process at GLiNTECH, making sure it is more collaborative, with clear objectives and planned checkpoints. This is a improvement to our process and has been working well. Having said that, it has always been clearly communicated during probation and beyond when team members were not performing. This is documented in our HRIS system and followed up by HR and the team manager. It is also reviewed by our external HR advisors to ensure communication is clear. Probation remains, in most cases, as 6 months because of the very steep learning curve. We employ people from varying technical backgrounds who may not have the subject matter expertise required as a Consultant at GLiNTECH. This gives individuals the opportunity to gain completely new skills, but it takes time. It would be unfair to our clients (and the individual) if we did not thoroughly train our team so that they can provide the expert advice clients seek. We have templates, installation guides and standardised processes and these are updated frequently. in 2018 we have improved this process further by having team days where consultants come together to brainstorm procedural updates and shared learning from their projects.

      No career plan. No benefits. No training. Check your contract.

      Pros

      Working for a consulting company, you have the opportunity to work at other companies (as its clients), and that is a great opportunity to meet other people and make your networking. I believe it is a good company to work for a few months max (if there is no other opportunity available) and find another proper company.

      Cons

      Extra hours ? No worries. No payment for that. No time in lieu. No negotiation. And same story repeats from our the first reviewer more than 5 years ago. "Un-rewarded long hours. Management takes stupid decisions (or at least not communicated ones). When times are bad, no bonuses will be paid out, no pay raise (even if it was promised)." There is no training/investment for employee. Read 4 times your contract before signing, there are some terms (which can't be mentioned here) that you should give attention. No career plan. Management is not transparent once a project is finishing whether there will be another one once the first started. You may know a couple of days before joining the project, not giving enough time to prepare yourself in a proper way for it.

      Good company if you're willing to work like a dog without complaint.

      Pros

      Very good career opportunity. Glintech offers you choices in what role you can do, but doesn't let you choose the project you're working on. When times are good the bonus can flow if you're working hard enough.

      Cons

      Un-rewarded long hours. Management takes stupid decisions (or at least not communicated ones). When times are bad, no bonuses will be paid out, no pay raise (even if it was promised) and no rewards for your hard work (no day in lieu even if you work 60+ hours a week for 3-4 weeks).
