ArdentMC Reviews

Project managers have limited experience and are not technical Paths to promotions seem to have more to do with friends/connections than performance Long Work Hours Very different managers some have a very very authoritarian style of leadership Management misrepresents team contributions and takes credit without basic knowledge of product Losing highly skilled employees Employees lost are not replaced with the same skill level Communication is frigid with repercussions / no anonymity if you try to address any issues No open door policy Management insight is limited your project manager is your only interface with the company Team dynamics can rapidly change causing lag time for development Ignores repeat patterns for friends saw several good employees leave or be let go due to perspective issues and misrepresentations Patterns are not anomalies and are occurring for solvable reasons ( specifically Authoritarian Management styles and lack of team clarity to higher managers) Lots of changes in office structures and negotiations with clients

During yearly reviews, they decide if they think you worked hard enough to earn a raise. If you do more than you're expected and put in extra hours, that will still not be enough for them to think you deserve a raise. There's not recognition of any kind. I was with Ardent for a while and I never got a raise or a promotion. They only promote people from the outside. The benefits were terrible. The managers are the worst managers I have ever worked with. The manager's don't know anything about what they're doing and they keep hiring under-qualified or random people to be managers, leaving everyone else that knows what they're doing to suffer.
