Cons

Short Answer: Very bad management, poor work ethics, and has no respect for the rule of law.

Long Answer: EEOC non-compliant (e.g., when employed and in an elevator in building 3, I overheard two men in management talking extremely unprofessionally about one of their own colleagues, who happened to be a woman they wanted terminated).

Does not adhere to critical U.S. Department of Labor guidelines (e.g., accountability tracking failures where Project/Process Managers continually avoid task/ticket creation and EEOC guidelines despite numerous requests to supply or adhere. For contractors: "Lose your job now or lose it later," was the choice).

Lots of rat race politics (e.g., you follow instructions given by your supervisor, fix something without getting a ticket despite numerous requests to your supervisor, provide a fix and non-subjective report as requested by your supervisor, and then get thrown under the bus by your own supervisor).

No respect for the rule of law (e.g., a contractor confessed details about my supervisor performing an act of defamation of character against me, but my supervisor refused to provide any tangible evidence to back up his claim).

Dishonest & Manipulative (e.g., I was brought onboard for a one-year contract-to-hire agreement to perform a specific role. Throughout my tenure, I had a job title that was not aligned with the set expectations. Midway through training, they pulled me out and had me start on reverse engineering a technology they led me to believe was proprietary to them. After the work was completed and thoroughly documented, I was mistakenly informed of the origin of the code. Further research showed it was closed-source code belonging to IBM, and I was used as a tool to avoid forking up $100,000 to IBM for a solution. They gave me a two-week notice of early contract termination, but when I started asking questions, they threw me under the bus and used everything in their power to discredit me).

Potentially outsourcing to India (e.g., an unconfirmed rumor, but the PM was just switched to a dissident from India. His immediate adviser is also a dissident from India. The office is quickly segregating into Indian nationals who are both supportive of or subjective to U.S. cultures. But as stated about rat race politics above, they will be adherent to the threat of job loss).

Advice to Management

Because I am not like you, I will give you advice.

NYC cut all ties with you because you have no respect for the law. You got fined by the FBI and sued by the public because you have no respect for the law. You are being investigated by the DOJ "AGAIN" for sanction violations because you have no respect for the law.

Learn from your REPEATED mistakes:

  • Clean up your act
  • Respect the law
  • Or get out of our country.

For more details regarding NYC, read May 31st articles from David K. Li and Kevin Dugan.

For sanction violations, read the September 8, 2016 statement from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (which resurfaced again this year in some of the fraudulent accounts noted below).

For fraud violations, you can search for a statement by the Office of Public Affairs on behalf of the Department of Justice dated September 29, 2016.

For rat race politics, you can search for an article by Matt Egan dated January 24th, 2017. He also has a more recent article dated June 19th, 2017 regarding a public visible trend of exactly what I am saying above, where Elizabeth Warren (U.S. Senator from Massachusetts) wants the board removed.
