Cyan Solutions Reviews

The work at Cyan is not very cutting edge, a lot of doing the same work over and over again, just rebranding for different clients. The CEO has little to no real passion for the industry and is only concerned about how profitable each job is. There is no push or support from above to grow your own skills, try something new, or try and stay on top of current trends. From time to time employees will get hired who have their own personal drive and introduce new ideas and techniques, but these employees never stick around very long and if it's easy for the old status quo to take over again. The CEO also likes to low ball salary negotiations, meaning that most decent talent don't make it past the negotiation phase, as either the CEO is unwilling to pay their expected salary, or they are turned off by the initial low ball offer that they just decline any job offer made to them. This results in most hires being either people fresh from school with little real agency experience and skills, or those from the bottom of the barrel who, regardless of experience, are truly worth such a low paycheque. Management is also really hung up on time sheets and you'll get grilled constantly to not only submit them on a daily basis (with penalties being given to those who do not) and you'll regularly be asked to justify the time you spent on tasks. There is little to no support for when a task goes over the budgeted time and it's a lot easier to just fudge your time sheets to fit the expected times than it is to either get support for going over or to justify why you did. Because of these two issues, this company has a really hard time holding onto staff that want to push this company beyond what is currently is. I don't see Cyan Solutions ever progressing past the company that it is today, which is probably why it's a good company to work for if you also have no need to progress past where you currently are in your career.
