Transaction Network Services reviews about "management"

All of the management and HR decisions are made by Koch and the disconnected management team in Virginia, the TNS company relies on the Seattle office and customer to provide the most of the corporate income stream, but they do not rely on that organization to make decisions for the success of the company. This company should eventually fail.

TNS is a very old-school company, and there is a lot of expecting people to be able to take long calls at all times instead of using chat or email to solve problems. Structure is very heirarchical, and teams are often siloed, with individual contributors actively reprimanded for communicating across team boundaries. Ground-up innovation is discouraged in favor of top-down central planning and secret agendas. LOTS of company politics - many senior personnel are unqualified and clearly only in their positions due to nepotism or tenure. Work on client requests is often delayed or not even delivered due to problem individuals acting as bottlenecks. Senior management seems to have no control or power over these individuals. HR seems to look down on employees in other offices, and has suddenly changed or not delivered on promises for employee benefits. HR will also not accommodate LGBTQ individuals unless strictly legally required to. I would recommend staying away, but they have outsourced all hiring to India anyway.

1. No work life balance. 2. Constant pressure from Management to extend the working hours daily. 3. No proper release planning from the management. 4. Open comparison between employees by pointing work contributions.

It had a cool small company feel until the Koch brothers bought TNS, then it went downhill fast, very corporate and lot's of BS to deal with.

Long working hours which hampers work life balance

Disorganized management. Project time line always blown due to poor processes. Though you have daytime flexibility. Due to client needs you have to be available almost every evening to make changes. Team was overworked due to above issues. No Pay raises once you hit a threshold.
