Pros

looked like wow initially but its all fake. I read good reviews online and took a chance to join this org only to realize its waste of time and energy. Lots of politics and all good reviews are from HR and talent team. They keep on getting awards recognition as well because of fooling candidates often by hiring on to this company

Cons

I would say if you have really no job, you may try your luck

It is our goal to ensure that our employees feel valued and that their day-to-day experience aligns with the professional standards we strive to maintain.

We would truly welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience directly so we can understand the specific factors that led to these impressions.

Pros

No pros at all except WFH

Cons

1) Was sold a full-time opportunity only to find out 6 weeks in that it was an 8-week proof-of-concept contract. They only hired me because of my previous experience with the client. I never would have accepted an 8-week contract and turned down other job opportunities during this time. I was used. 2) They held onto my HSA funds for over a month and could never explain why and only rectified it after numerous emails. 3) They overcharged me on my medical premiums (I never would have signed up for benefits for an 8-week engagement but thinking it was full-time like my paperwork stated, I did) and it took countless emails over 2 months and opening a complaint with the Department of Labor to get my $400+ back. 4) One month after the engagement, I was notified by unemployment that Ascendion said I was fired (which was a lie, the project ended). I had an adjudication interview with unemployment and shared emails with evidence of such. Ascendion never responded which resulted in delaying my unemployment funds for 30 days.
