Pros

The staff of CNC is knowledgeable, skilled, dedicated, and committed to providing its clients with the very best service. The CNC staff has a positive work attitude and is full of professionalism, confidence and optimism. During my long working career, CNC has been one of the best companies I’ve worked with! Even though there’s no ideal company, CNC is as close as it gets!

Cons

Please keep the good work and quality culture

Pros

none really. maybe someone else can find some cuz I can't do it

Cons

company took over a multiyear contract from a big company and raped the existing team members by removing many of the benefits of staying at a contract for a long period. some went from 5 weeks vacation to 10 days, which is the maximum that this company offers. that's the only benefit. you have to stay with them fr 5 years to get vested in the 401K for the first year you are there. already over 30% of the people that came on have left because of mismanagement and the lack of any respect for the people they hired. the offers for the contracts were given out only a couple of days before the end of contract so nobody had a chance to move on before accepting. All other contracting companies that came onboard matched salaries and benefits. Converge cut salaries by over 10% and increased healthcare costs by 3x the original quote. I'm leaving as soon as I can, and so is everyone else.

Converge Networks Response

The statements made in this review are mostly incorrect and intentionally injurious. Converge Networks Corporation (CNC) was a subcontractor at the US Census Bureau during the period of Feb 2014 to July 2017. The prime contractor bid competitively and won the contract from the incumbent, a large company that couldn't bid on the new contract because it was reserved for 8(a) companies. The incumbent staff had high salaries and ample benefits when they worked for the previous contractor. The new award was not as generous as previous awards and the new labor rates were very competitive in comparison to those of the previous contract. As a subcontractor on the new award, CNC obviously got even lower labor rates than the prime contractor. In the process of transitioning the incumbent staff, CNC did its best to keep salaries as close as possible to the incumbent salaries. Being a small company, the CNC benefits were modest compared to those of the previous incumbent. CNC couldn't keep the seniority driven benefits that the incumbent staff had built with the prior contractor. The incumbent staff had two choices: either seek employment and consulting opportunities elsewhere, or accept the offers CNC made to them. They chose to transition to CNC and the new contract, but seem to have harbored more than resentment as exhibited in the above vitriolic review.
