AVOID - this place will be a detriment to your career

Pros

If you need exposure to your preferred career field and no one else will take you - this is a foot in the door - with the understanding you will be severely underpaid due to the company's poor positions as subcontractor. Get in, get some experience and network on-site, and GET OUT. If you are SINGLE and need healthcare, the medical benefits are good. The plan is NOT conducive for families and is not a good option for them.

Cons

- Failure of leadership. This can not be stressed enough that the company is run by a mini-tyrant who takes pleasure in making people miserable, lying, and denying any responsibility. - Training opportunities do not exist. You can't pursue education or certifications here. - They talk the talk about being exciting and innovative, but those years are long gone and they are scrambling with no vision or direction and just hoping to land contracts. - NOT a professional environment. You will be screamed at, sweared at, belittled, and mocked. - Promotions from within are based on favoritism and not merit. - Massive amounts of turnover. There is very little legacy knowledge.

Dear Former Employee, I'm sorry to hear you did not have a good experience with our company. We absolutely cherish each one of our employees which is why we guarantee bonuses by taking a portion of our profits and distribute them directly to our employees each year. We've paid over 100k in 2018 for training and tuition reimbursements, the process involves submitting a reimbursement form for our records and approval (budget). We have quantifiable reasons to promote within which are subject to the individuals performance and when applicable customer delivery performance. As a leader in the Company I can tell you it's always difficult when a employee departs the Company, voluntarily or involuntarily. Our retention actually has been extremely strong, however given your review we will continue to advance our culture and employee satisfaction. Again, I'm sorry you didn't experience what others have but I thank you for your opinion as it does matter. Thank you and we wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

At one point, two years ago, I would have suggested the benefits are great and likely better than most companies I have come across.

Cons

Benefits. Marketed to employees as great, the benefits or "selling points of the company" are consistently and systematically denied. Training, Education, reimbursements, book allowance, docked maternity/paternity leave, denial of pay for required overtime, wage increases, etc. Dishonesty. Praescient Executives have been trying to sell the company for a few years now. That is fine, but something you should be honest about with employees, old or new. Even as documentation on the denied procurement made it's way to employees, Executives continue a dishonest approach. I have personally been privy to discussions with Executives and employees, where those employees are fed promise one (lie) and promise two (lie) in order to retain them or block them from going elsewhere; and staying much in-line with the core culture the company operates on, these promises are consistently and systematically revoked and denied. This includes backdoor employee salary changes without consent or contract updates, denial of promised bonuses after work completion, and "do this or you're fired" approach. High Turnover. With a retention rate in the negative, this mostly speaks the most about the company culture. The company, in it's short life span thus far, has seen three Senior Executive resignations, to include a founder of the company, and nine Directors resignations (i.e. Operations, HR, BD, Recruiting, Finance, Talent). Getting into the Consultants the company wished or attempted to retain, excluding those simply moving on for better opportunities, and resignations skyrocket past fifty. Take a moment, search LinkedIn, and contact former employees. This will be all you need to do. Litigious There has not been a former employee or business partner that the Executives have not tried to sue. I am not being hyperbolic. Again, search LinkedIn, contact former employees. These statements are based on my first-hand knowledge of the company and my direct experiences. Again, I highly recommend any individual considering this company to contact former employees.

House of Cards. Leadership in Denial.

Pros

Many smart and capable employees.

Cons

- Praescient Analytics just suffered a devastating blow after its primary partner severed its business relationship. - Company is denying current employees access to their personal employee files and directing them to lawyers instead due to the severed partner relationship. - High Turnover: Company has three director level positions and has been through seven directors in less than a year. - CEO spends more than 60% of the year away from the office overseas. - A once 155+ person company is now below 40 employees and rapidly shrinking. - Executive leadership asked employees to write positive reviews on this site due to a series of bad reviews. Some reviews on this site seem like they were written by these executives. - Executive leadership is out of touch with reality. Shady accounting practices and rate manipulation will undoubtedly prevent any significant new government contracts from surviving official protests. - Company has generated little if any new business since Jan 2016 due to significant business development turnover and poor financial decisions.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that you feel this way, but we understand your frustration. Praescient did recently lose one of its oldest contracts. Unfortunately, this happens in the world of contracting as requirements and relationships change. At this point though, all of the employees who were on that contract have not been terminated and remain being supported by Praescient Analytics as we continue to be dedicated to our employees and their families with continued employment. I assure you that Praescient does not participate in any “Shady accounting practices” or “rate manipulation” and our financial practices are regularly audited by a third party CPA firm who controls all compliance regarding GAAP, DCAA, Rates, Bank Regulations as well as Monthly and Annual closings since the inception of the Company. We strive to make Praescient a great place to work, we encourage any employees who have questions or concerns about the current state of the company to take advantage of our Executive Team’s open door policy and reach out directly.
