Tallan Reviews

Lots of pressure. They want you to work a minimum of 45 hours a week and if you can work more than that and if you don't eat, or sleep, no one will care. There's constant yelling, and seems like management lies to everyone just to keep people around. Recruiters can be heard saying things to new people that just aren't true. Seems like this company doesn't care anymore about its people like we heard it did. The blame seems to point to the CEO and a lack of honesty there because all the uppper management seems to follow his lead. They want to grow but they don't have any sales or marketing people that know what to do. There were just a bunch of layoffs that a lot of people haven't heard about. You only hear things positive but it's not true. Long hours, no work life balance, and if you even hint that you want one, the answer is get out. This is not a healthy place at all and it may not last long.

- CEO is not very genuine - Overworked - Lots of blame thrown around - Bad projects - Turnover rate - Job insecurity You are going to be working VERY hard at Tallan. The first project I was on had me working 60+ hours after the first month. You also tend to work on things that you haven't even signed up for. I know of a few cases of Senior Consultants doing Project Management and so on. This sometimes causes a lot of problems and in turn, a lot of people start blaming each other for things that went wrong. There are also projects that could very well doom your career. Many times, you can get stuck on a project for years, doing the same thing. There are also projects that you won't learn anything doing. If you get put on one of those projects, you are most likely going to be stuck there for a long time. Another thing was that the CEO, didn't seem very genuine to me. We met at a holiday party and he shook my hand saying that he had heard lots of great things about me. Within a couple of months, he ordered all the different offices to lay off everyone not working on a project at the time, including me, which connects to my next point. There is a super high turnover rate. People are coming and going all the time. Whether they find higher pay elsewhere, are trying to escape a doom project, or whether they are laid off. There is a vicious cycle of layoffs that happen every year or so, where the company gets too ambitions, hires too many people, expands too much, plans too many projects, and then something happens and everyone panics, resulting in a bunch of people getting laid off. Oh, and they also hired my friend as an intern and then cut the program right before it started, effectively ruining his summer because he couldn't find another. Overall, Tallan is a decent starting company, but be wary of the signs so you know when your end is coming.
