Advanced Technology Group (KS) Consultant reviews

-This is a consulting job. It won’t be highlighted in your interview, but there will be nights, weekends and even occasional holidays sacrificed if you are on the delivery side of the house. ATG does a better job at creating work-life balance than many consulting firms, but it’s still a traditional consulting role. Do your research and make sure you are ready for this level of career commitment. -ATG is a gem in a big corporate Cognizant machine. Working within the bureaucracy of the machine can be challenging at times.

There are quite a few bad things about working at this company. Leadership was very disconnected from the employees and played favorites. If you were the favorite of one of the leaders in particular you could move up quickly even if you weren’t a good fit for a role. There were no pay bands in place here so some people were grossly underpaid for their roles. I also saw many people ask for raises that were declined and they were given a guilt trip about how they are paid well and how they should be grateful and patient. All the while there are no clear guidelines to how to increase your pay. The culture is toxic here. Although it was a good place to work at one point, the company is not scaling well. Employees who are more outgoing are treated better and given more opportunities. This creates an environment where employees feel forced to participate to make sure they show face. The company is losing quality employees. Many of the employees are fresh to the space. It is great that they are giving individuals opportunities to move into the tech field, but the ratio of experienced to new workers is an issue. Many long term employees leave because they are tired of this company and can command a much better salary elsewhere.
