Pros

The company offered a matching salary+10% for the place I was working at the time they call me. The promised training, working from home, but I did travel to clients (5 different states in a period of 19 months) and while the training was never there, I did work from home about 75% of the time.

Cons

I did not have any complains from any of the clients I was supporting, so out of the blue I get a call from the central office telling me I was laid off, my manager did not have any explanation of WHY, just that they needed to drop some personal and since some of the client that stop having Centroid as their provider, where some of the one I was providing the service, I was let go. The training that was promised never was offered, and I found out when I started traveling, that traveling time (which some weeks were up to 12 hours) were not considered as working, I did not get pay for those hours. Secondly, when I applied for my next job, the company I was applying for a new job informed me that my ex-manager told them I was fired, not laid off. But I was receiving unemployment, so if I was fired I could not, I called HR myself and they certainly told me I was laid of NOT fired. By then, the company I was trying to get a new job, found someone else during the 2-3 days Centroid delay to get back to me, so I lost a perspective job thanks to them. I will not recommend this company to others, once I was out of there I asked at least 15 people to just make a simple recommendation in linkedin for me, and I was told Centroid employees ARE NOT allow to make recommendations to former employees in any website.

Pros

I found it Centroid Centroid to be a terrific place to work. Management is supportive, benefits are good and teams work well together and are accountable.

Cons

As with any tech firm there are long hours but Flex Time is provided when weekend work occurs

Pros

100% Remote, Challenging projects promote learning on the fly. PMO staff and technical resources are top notch. Good environment if you’re purely technical and have no personal growth goals.

Cons

They don’t grasp work/life balance and you’re nothing but a billing machine with no recognition or financial incentives. Poor bonus plan and I hope you don’t expect a raise as the company does not believe in them. Ignore the bonus number on your offer letter as they only pay out a percentage of it. Venture Capital is running the show, not Centroid mgmt, and they could care less about employees. I knew quickly that Centroid would not be a long term engagement. HR is condescending and your voice does not matter. Salaries are kept artificially low by hiring lower wage H1Bs.
