Pros
BlueMatrix is by far the worst professional experience I've ever had the displeasure of having in my entire career. I'll share a personal story to back up and support the above statement, and demonstrate how little they value their own employees. After 3 years of being paid well below industry average and working long hours, I found a better opportunity and gave BlueMatrix my 2 weeks notice . After it was official, I began to experience a drastic change in attitude and unfounded hostility from almost every member of management. The only explanation is that they were taking my departure personally, which is extremely unprofessional behavior. After years of being as accommodating as possible while being financially neglected, their reaction to my standard two week notice was the last straw, so I quit before completing my 2 weeks. BlueMatrix still owed me a pay out for unused accrued vacation days (~1 week). They also owed me commission from a project I completed back in June. Management had made several verbal promises to me regarding getting commission for this project and future ones. In fact, one week before I left I confirmed with my supervisor who confirmed with the boss when I would receive my commission. I was informed it would be the next pay check. BlueMatrix fell through on their promises and I never received the vacation days payout or my commission on my last paycheck. This goes to show that management does not show an ounce of consideration or respect to even one of their oldest employees. My supervisor has been with the company for about a decade, and even she was lied to about my commission pay. I reached out to HR and the response was that the policy for the commission payment was "a trial incentive plan" and is now "null". Even if that reason was true, it was never mentioned. BlueMatrix management uses these unpublicized and unstated "policies" as a way to ensure that every possible nickel and dime goes back to their pockets. Keep in mind, my supervisor told me just 1 week prior I would be getting this commission the next paycheck and it takes a week for them to process payroll, so they never planned on following through from the beginning! To support my statement about managements' greediness, HR said that because I left prior to the end of my 2 weeks notice, I was no longer eligible for my unused vacation days payout. In NY, employers are required to payout unused vacation days unless there is a written policy stating otherwise. I reviewed the employee policies and there is no written policy stating this. Just in case it wasn't publicized, I also asked HR for a copy of the written policies stating these exceptions as well as a copy of my employment contract and never heard back. I am entitled to my employment contract, and any company which refuses to provide it raises huge red flags. Lucky for me and unfortunate for them, I was able to find a copy of my employment contract that promises me PAID vacation days with no clause that would null it. I was warned by other employees that left BlueMatrix that this company pulls these kinds of stunts when you try to leave (e.g. trivially deducting amounts from your paycheck, not paying commission) so I wasn't surprised when it was done to me. These other employees were drained of spirit and willpower from suffering constant defeats and neglect. On principle alone, I will fight this to the end for them and myself. The above is just one of many many examples where managements' dishonesty and lack of shame has caused strife in their current and former employees' lives. I'm currently in the process of filing a claim with the Department of Labor as well as filing a claim in small claims court. This company's management needs to know that you cannot treat people this way. Lying and cheating your hard-working employees whenever you get the chance is a surefire way to build contempt. I sincerely hope that this review serves as the much needed warning sign that this is one of the worst companies that you could possibly work for.
