Pros

Get to work with big Clients. You can work remote but I highly discourage this as it gives them too much opportunity to lay you off at any time.

Cons

Terrible management and awful communication between the clients and development teams is standard. Noral shorted me $1200 in my last paycheck. Middle management politics are heavily used. Delivery directors are not helpful and basically are overpaid chaperons with no real technical skill and understanding.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We work hard to be a great place to work but it's inevitable that we'll get some things wrong from time to time. Indeed, there was clerical error that led to the paycheck issue; however, that was resolved within 24 hours after discovering the error on our end. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Regarding the other aspects of your feedback, I would be happy to discuss in more detail with you if you would like. Please reach out to me at matt.munson@nortal.com to set up a time. - CEO, North America

Pros

- Hybrid Remote (mostly remote. You might get flown in a few times a year. If you're local you'll get quite a few nudges to come into the office but it isn't mandatory) - A few good leaders still remain, but your odds of working with them are slim just by sheer numbers - Good HR team

Cons

This is for Nortal USA only. Company has changed a lot in 2 years: - Pay is about average to less than average, as of this year - Lots of non-technical managers were promoted into positions of power, resulting in shortsighted decisions that have temporary gains and then hurt everyone for years to come. Results in a lot of OT, that if you work through you will earn said terrible manager some praise, reinforcing more of the same - Lots of talk about honesty and transparency, which at one point seemed true but no longer is. Leadership is good at sounding like this is a priority but from key individuals this is clearly just lip service based on their actions and what they say behind closed doors - Leadership has a new focus on fast and 'lesser' quality, while not having the technical understanding on how to plan for that & the inability to accept the consequences outlined to them when negotiating what is/isn't important - Very "do what you're told" mentality, coming from the same short sighted individuals. These individuals will blame the team for issues that then occur from these actions, despite the warnings and trouble you faced for disagreeing to begin with

Thank you for taking the time to provide our team with feedback. I’m glad that you found our remote-first policy to be a positive experience as it is an integral part of our culture. I’m also happy that you felt supported by the HR team, as well as some of our leaders. We strive to create an environment where our team feels supported by leadership and management to own their growth, and I’m sorry that wasn’t your experience as a whole with our US leaders. It’s important that individuals feel they have a voice in our organization, and we provide platforms for them to share with leaders and management both anonymously and named. Whether it is about salary, transparency, or our standards we want to know. I thank you again for sharing your concerns, and I will share them with our leadership team so we can continue to improve as a company. Leigh Wunderlin VP of People & Culture, North America

Pros

* Competitive pay * Chance to learn internal Amazon systems

Cons

* Idiotic leadership that doesn't care about their people * Blatant lying to employees, promising promotions then rescinding them, project managers mandating ridiculous tech designs to veteran engineers, the whole bit. I've seen some stupid management in my time, but these guys take the cake. The new leadership seems to not care about the people that work there and who have made them somewhat successful. Every bad decision that could possibly have been made, they made it, ignoring all of the building blocks that were carefully put into place by those that preceded them.
