The Absolute Worst. - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij GlobalNet Services

GlobalNet Services is a very innovative company. They are always thinking ahead and working to stay on top of industry happenings. Senior management has a great vision for the company. The work atmosphere here is great! We get fresh fruit every week and have annual Wii tournaments (with trophies for the winners).

Teams can be very focused in on their own work and don't always collaborate.

The pay is above mkt rate for the Rockville area Of course you have to know that ask for it at the time of joining. Everybody gets a annual 4% hike. Managers onwards get a year end bonus. There are bi weekly yoga classes. During the govt shutdown they tried to keep people at work as much as possible while bigger companies sent people on vacation the very next day. There are no differences between contractors and employees. In fact it is better to be a contractor.

The culture of the company is terrible. Theanagement style is passive aggressive. Some micro managers micro manage. There is no comparative performance review. So everybody is exceptional. The flip side of that is there is no structure to who gets promoted. Promotions are rare and happen only if you schmooze upbto the right people. You have to beg and plead if you need to work from home on a bad weather day or have a doctors appointment even after spending 5 years in the company and have proved that you are dependable. They think people don't work unless they are constantly monitored. The senior management has no diversity and is full of 60 year old white males. Since the work life balance is so poor it is not surprising that only such people with no responsibilities at home progress. This is a place to pick up a skill and move out not a place to work long term.
