Pros

Intela did hire good people; some of them have a good ethic and were motivated to overachieve. The salary is good if you know how to negotiate it, they also have a good commission’s scheme. Last good point is their equipment, you get good machines to work and have IT assistance when needed.

Cons

There is no proper management; many of the managers are inexperienced and unprofessional. This is creating a terrible atmosphere. People are scared to talk or express their opinion. I don’t think this is normal to harass employees and treat some of them differently. HR should investigate what is really going on in some team. It is not normal to have people leaving one by one without questioning the manager’s behavior. Some managers can’t dissociate private life from professional life. It had the potential to become a great company but they lost it. There is a big turnover among employees. Even though they pay good salaries, no one stays, even people that were recently hired. They also expect people to work extra hours constantly plus the weekend (with no compensation). Even though I liked the job I was doing, leaving Intela is the best decision I’ve made. They do not respect their employees. They are just interested in making revenue and getting new clients. Even though this is a business, it is also important to make your employees happy.

Pros

Flexibility to go to gym at lunch or ride a bike. The people that I worked with were very warm and welcome. They endure a Friday beer tradition. I felt like the workload was very fast passed and past the time quickly. Even though a lot of the development staff got cut we all came together and tried to help each other out with resources to find new employment.

Cons

not much of a notice when things go down hill. When things do go bad they go bad very fast.

Pros

There are some great people that work at Intela. They're fun to be around, they're thoughtful, considerate and talented. They believe in teamwork and will help out whenever they can. These people work hard and can still manage time for a laugh.

Cons

None of the people described in the "Pros" section are management. Management has one favorite group and they get all the special treatment. Everyone else is looked down upon as if they're just "the help." The people at the top seem to be lacking any business school training and they prove this by handing out arbitrary titles like "Vice President" and "Director." There are more directors in the company than there are people working under them. The technical leadership is a joke. There are plenty of out dated ideas and methodologies, and when new suggestions are presented, they're scoffed at. Most of the technology is cobbled together as an afterthought and everything is an emergency fix. There's no forward thinking.
