Worst company to work - Software Developer Melon (IL) Employee Review

Great, here's a positive review for Melon, the small company: Melon, a small company with little strategic direction. The team is comprised of genuinely good people who foster a collaborative and friendly work environment. Despite its size,

I was laid off by Melon, and the reason given was that a client did not extend their contract. While I understand that business decisions can be challenging, it was disappointing to find myself out of work due to circumstances beyond my control. The company's communication throughout this process was lacking, and the abruptness of the layoff left me feeling undervalued as an employee. I hope they can improve their transparency and support for their staff in similar situations in the future.

No Pros for these losers. They may list reputable companies on their site, but don't be fooled. They're a small outfit with no funding. All jobs start as contracting with limited hours. You'll have to eat some hours because they'll set a limit on how many hours they have on a project.

They don't live up to the contract. The contract guarantees up to 40 hrs a week, they'll only give you only 10 per week. They'll tell you your hours were approved but won't pay you, then when you inquire, telling you the invoice needs to be approved by the client. It's been 2 months and I have not been paid!
