Pros

Work - life balance Beautiful campus Hybrid schedule

Cons

Majority of C-level leadership work remote and were brought in from outside of the organization. The culture at ETS is completely different that it was.

Pros

- Work from home flexibility - The Princeton campus is very pretty as it is set in a green space

Cons

- Basically everything…. - No job growth opportunities. No such things as a promotion here, if you want a “promotion” you have to hope that there is a higher-level position available and then apply and compete for the job on the open market - Low-paying wages and undervalued staff. Senior management keeps trying to claim we are “tech company” but don’t actually want to pay the market rate for tech workers, and don’t even pay market… - Meaningless wage increases (if any) - Absolutely meaningless bonuses (target is 3% of salary… you do the math after taxes… if they even pay them) - Vacation/PTO policy is a joke! Yes if you calculate it you get 4.5 weeks a year in PTO, however you have to use it all in the year or you lose it (minus the one week you can carry over) and you do not get an increase to this amount until year 10! At which point you get an extra week, you then get 1 more week at 25 years of service! TWENTY-FIVE YEARS just to reach what many companies (especially those rival tech companies) are hitting by 5 years and if not then by 10 years. - Senior management is overall clueless, distrustful, and egotistical - CEO, Amit Sevak, is clearly working to end the company in the US and offshore it to India - Massive instability, 5 rounds of staff reductions in 3 years, the most recent one was a voluntary separation package for staff with the message from the CEO of “I strongly encourage you to take this; if not we will be forced to do involuntary layoffs”. This has resulted in over 50% of the company in the US taking the package, much to many many unhappy people. BTW this was announced in a 4-minute recorded video which replaced a scheduled townhall at the last minute. CEO didn’t have the courage to actually announce it live to staff. - Senior management claims to be transparent and then refuses to actually share any information, avoids questions, and then promote new policies that are against the staffs wishes - Revenue is in a tailspin and hemorrhaging cash while trying to “acquire” new companies with positive revenue. Someone heard “non-profit” and took it to heart. - Everything and I mean EVERYTHING is being transitioned to India, it's only a matter of time until there is only a “shell company” in the US to still have contracts in the US - No clear strategic mission or direction - There are no incentives to stay for employees whose moral is worse than low

Pros

Work from home. Flexible scheduling. That's it.

Cons

This company takes full advantage of their part time employees and offers nothing in return. They pay ridiculously low for the professionals expecting to provide comprehensive and accurate scoring and never, and I mean, never give raises of any kind. They treat the part time work force very poorly. The only communication is to share new rules or plans to make compensation decrease. There is no appreciation for employees at all. I would not recommend working for this company. I feel bad for the FT staff who must be miserable if they are treated in a similar way. I have worked PT and FT for many companies and have never seen such poor treatment of employees.
