Simplus reviews about "plan"

-Growing fast so acquisitions, constant changes and pressure to push work offshore can take a toll on employees (but that is typical of consulting, right?) - it's still consulting so many times its unavoidable to be at the mercy of some of the more "demanding "clients

No downsides yet. Only thing to consider might be the 401k plan. It can be improved

- Stressful. Not a laid back environment whatsoever. Continually changing directions, and not in the exciting way of "fast paced", but in the way of firing entire teams of people and hiring new staff for different positions without properly vetting them because they don't have time. They have gone through a lot of employees over a short amount of time, that's why they have over 50 glassdoor reviews for a company with only 100 employees and has been in business for only a few years. - Underpaid. Working in development they do not pay well. Make sure to absolutely demand what you are worth before accepting an offer and never expect a raise. They went back and forth for months "making plans" on how I can get a simple raise after being there for a year. Finally after leaving Simplus I found a job paying twenty thousand more within a week, literally one week from leaving and I got that much of a bump to simply get my market value. This story is repeated multiple times through multiple employees. People leaving to get a 40% increased pay somewhere else right away. - Titles. In order to underpay their employees they give everyone a great title. It seems as though over half the current company are VP's, Managers, Executives, or Directors. They do this, I assume, because the feel they can pay you less if they slap a fancy title on you, employees will consider it a good investment. - Micro-managed. Scrum meetings every morning, Task management software tracking every minute you work on everything. Every second of your day tracked and monitored. If you go over on any project that's scoped by someone that has no idea what they are doing they act as if you are personally responsible for losing the company billable time. If you like having every single second of your day tracked, If you like spending a good portion of the day entering project details and times and lists into complex project management software, if you like having to deal with project managers and be micro managed non-stop every day multiple times a day, this is the place for you. - With these negatives listed, I will say that the company does seem to slowly be shifting in the right direction. I would say the outlook is good and some of these issues are due to them being relatively new and finding out what direction they really want to go. I think in fairness many of these issues will resolve over time.

We are distributed which can sometimes feel disconnected, but that is addressed with many efforts from the leadership through planned activities, socials, and company meetings.

Though the health plans were opt notch, the benefit premiums for employees were the highest I had ever come across for a family. Misleading feedback - Don't be surprised if you are being told that you are doing great work, only to be dismissed the next day. Too much emphasis on billable hours and certifications. Of course you are a platinum partner...now. Any company would be if they hounded their employees about billable hours and obtaining certifications for partner points on a daily basis. Supervisor dodges you for your one-on-one meetings instead of providing constructive feedback to help further your career and growth within the company. If you value feedback like I do, avoid this company.

Employees are currently being laid off with 2 weeks base pay and one additional week for each year of service. All of the good people from a 2 years ago are gone. Now is not the time to join Simplus No ways to move in the career ladder as the plan just seems to be to lay people off until we are all gone Have not gotten a raise in 2 years

Do your best and you'll be fine. Be open and work hard. Cons - it's not a place to float along in your career.
