Pros

Had worked with a few good co-workers but only knew a few as deployed to a client immediately. Pay was ok I guess as it was my first job in the US market. There might be other new benefits when changes were implemented but had left already before it happened.

Cons

As I was deployed immediately to a client after hiring, I never had much interaction with other co-workers aside from those who got deployed later to the same client. Since client was happy then, there were no plans of rolling-off to new projects until after numerous requests. I had just felt a bit isolated and did not appreciate it then thus my frustration. I felt that there was no real direction.

BEWARE: A Company with No Heart and Soul

Pros

Good Office Location. Good Parking.

Cons

This is a company with the worst leadership I’ve ever experienced. Siteworx’s CEO speaks a good game, telling the people in one of his communication e-mails that they should work with purposeful intentions and by connecting their Hearts, Mind and Soul. In terms of his own execution, he COMPLETELY disregards his own rhetoric. He operates in his head with grand ideas but cannot bring his ideas into fruition. His lack of execution will be the demise of the company. He is not capable of articulating an idea and then allowing the space and motivating his employees to work as a team to achieve that vision. He operates as a COO rather than a CEO, micromanaging processes and daily tasks, showing favoritism, creating dissention among team members. He fires employees by blaming their lack of abilities rather than his own inability to motivate, lead and enable his people to succeed. He was brought in to make the company a better place. But the company’s morale is at its all time low. The below are examples that demonstrates this CEO’s and Company’s lack of heart and soul: - When individuals express opinions different to what he believes, he condescends, yells and talks down to them like they are idiots in front of a big group. As a leader, he should use those opportunities to guide, develop and mentor them. His treatment of people borderlines inhuman decency; no heart. - He leads by trial and error. His lack of leadership is buried by faulting employee’s inadequacies rather his own. He hires and fires without care of impact to people’s lives. He brings people with certain expectations. Then he changes his mind and redefines his expectations for their roles somewhere along the way. When they no longer ‘fit’ his constantly revolving expectations, he fires them at will. This is an unethical operand. He is a ruthless soul. - As far the soul of the company, it is plagued with poison. There are individuals who possess technical delivery strengths but lacks professionalism, maturity and teamwork spirit. They have been heard to cite ‘let them fall flat on their faces…’ to new team members. These individuals enjoy playing the heroic acts and are tolerated and upheld by the CEO irregardless of how they act and behave amongst their peers. If and when things are not done their way, they push, blame, backstab or point fingers at others when something goes wrong. Rather than provide disciplinary actions, the CEO and company tolerate it, retaining the bad seed and adding to the poisonous soul of the company. Additionally, new leadership team members are added with the similar ruthless attributes of taking credit from others, beating down and unprofessional treatments of employees. Potential employees, beware. The ship is sinking at this company. There have been multiple layoffs this year, all within a span of 2 to 3 months. The company is down to the bare bone. Potential Customers, beware. They will not be able to scale and deliver. Siteworx will not be around much longer to support you. The company is adding a lot of heavy, high costing overhead positions to control cost rather than adding to the Delivery and Sales team. As people at the doer level are being let go to fund the expensive chiefs , there are no more indians to do the real work. Staffs are overworked and stretched across so many engagements. All the while, being beaten down by ruthless, heartless leaderships, starting from the top. Truly a company with NO HEART and SOUL.

I’m Ken Quaglio, the President and CEO of Siteworx. One my of my core beliefs as a leader is to share direct and honest feedback with people about their performance. When that feedback is difficult to hear, people may respond in a variety of ways. My position, and the kind of leader that I am, requires me to make hard decisions every single day. These decisions aren’t just about the business, they are about people. These are consistently intertwined because people are the core of our business. I have always cared deeply about our people and our clients. I’d ask that feedback directly for me should be given directly to me just as I share feedback directly with you, and not necessarily shared in an anonymous format on a forum that affects the company. Also, the facts here are wrong, we actually have dramatically reduced overhead and invested heavily in delivery and highly skilled practitioners. One thing I am certain of is that if you meet the people that are here at Siteworx, you will find a very different company than the one described in this post. You will see the heart and soul of people that care about each other and our clients. And we are always looking for people that can bring their best and want to be a part of an amazing team.

Pros

Talented team that is being held back by poor leadership. The people are the company’s greatest asset, but unfortunately many great people are quitting, getting fired or getting laid off. The talent is there, but a strong strategy, and a consistent vision is absent. 

Cons

Do not work here if you need job security. There have been over 4 layoffs in the past few years, and multiple office closures. I have lost all respect for the leadership who has lied about the company’s “success”. News Flash- truly successful companies don’t have layoffs, high turnover and constant leadership changes. Siteworx consistently makes terrible hiring choices and it is routine for someone to leave after a month or two. People are hired and fired without care . Going away parties are more frequent than welcome parties. Leadership team lays off talented people and cheaper replacements are brought in, only to realize they were cheaper for a reason. The strategy and vision is always changing and it’s not a true consultancy model. It’s a ‘Ok-fine-we’ll-do-whatever-you-want-please-don’t-fire-us-we-need-your-money’ model. Delusional leadership has convinced themselves they are doing a good job explaining the “vision” ,but just because you wrote long emails and used some buzzwords doesn’t mean it was 1. understandable or 2. a good idea. Siteworx would respond to that- ‘It’s unfortunate you didn’t get the full picture or context of some of those adjustments.’ Actually, if the majority of employees don’t understand your “vision” since it’s changing every few months, unfortunately you are the problem- not the employees. Employees are overworked and under appreciated. Work/life balance is poor - vacation and PTO are often interrupted and not respected. Processes are broken and favoritsim & micromanagement is prevalent. Work is often signed with not enough hours and team members. Salaries are often lower than market average . They promise bonuses, stock options, raises, and other incentives when you get hired that don’t materialize. The performance management relies more on your ability to BS about how you “live the company values” than your actual work quality and performance… Despite the open office environment, you won’t hear much laughter or talking. Now after all the layoffs and people quitting many seats are empty. The culture is contrived and cliquish. Morale is low. Even if you are extremely desperate don’t be fooled……. this company is a sinking ship, not worth taking a chance on.

We agree that people are our biggest asset. The people who want to be here are here for a reason, and with them, we are doing some amazing things. We have made tremendous headway in 2016 and will continue to build on our momentum. Come find out for yourself.
