Pros

People seemed nice at first.

Cons

Company situated me with a client at about $15,000 below what I usually make and at the worst company I've ever worked at. When I left that company they delayed paying me my paycheck in a timely manner which caused me significant financial distress.

Sorry you feel your experience with OpenArc was less than satisfactory, we are dedicated to our employees and strive to provide the best customer service possible to our candidates and clients. Prior to submitting a candidate to any client, we discuss the client in detail with the candidate and encourage/expect the candidate to review the client on their own. Once this occurs their resume and salary requirements are reviewed, discussed, and agreed upon by the candidate and the Technical Career Advisor at OpenArc. Following this pre-screening we get a final confirmation from the candidate that they are interested in the company, agree to the compensation expectations, and understand the parameters of employment including commute working hours etc... Once those decisions are made the candidate goes through an interview process where the client determines if the candidate has the skills and is a good fit, and the candidate determines if the position and company are a good fit. Finally when an offer is made the candidate has the opportunity to consider all of the information that has been presented to them and mike a final decision as the whether to accept employment. While we certainly hope that every candidate absolutely loves every opportunity OpenArc provides for them, we understand that not every individual will ultimately be successful. This is why we ensure each candidate is provided as much detail as possible throughout the process in order to make the decision of accepting an offer that is presented. If after reviewing an organization, submitting a resume, interviewing, receiving an offer, and ultimately accepting an offer a candidate believes that it was the worse company they ever worked for, we would encourage you to spend more time in the future throughout the process determining if the organization is a fit. We would rather not send a resume, end a process early, or decline an offer than to have a dissatisfied candidate and client after an offer has been accepted. OpenArc complies with all applicable laws and regulations regarding issuing timely paychecks. In any situation where a delay could occur, we are in contact with the employee to ensure prompt delivery of their paychecks. We welcome any additional feedback you may have and encourage you to contact us to work through any misunderstandings.

Pros

Having worked with the various departments at OpenArc, I feel appreciated for my specific skills and knowledge of the business. Management is responsive and has invested heavily in creating growth opportunities for hard-working active contributors. There is a client-centered mentality at OpenArc, meaning if you need to go the extra mile, you will do so, and time has shown that you will be rewarded for doing so. There is a great bunch of staffing and software professionals in this organization who work relentlessly to deliver the best talent- resources and IT solutions to our customers, because they believe in what they do, they believe in their co-workers, and believe in their management.

Cons

I honestly can not think of anything negative to say about OpenArc- there may have been a few bumps along the way, but I feel that is the case with any growing company. At the end of the day there is a great group of hard working people that show up and work hard every day, it is truly a pleasure to be a part of this organization.
