The idea of a great company, hiding in a poorly executed one.
Analyst (Former Employee), Calgary – May 10, 2013
Pros: found clients easily, the actual work was quite good and the environment was great
Cons: their cut of your rate is complete robbery.
They are your basic IT staffing firm with one catch: they keep 60%+ of your rate, for as long as you are with them. It is far too much money for what they give you. They are one giant HR firm and do a good job of placing you, but they could not be more of a rip off.

Used to be a nice branch
System Consultant (Current Employee), Edmonton, AB – September 24, 2012
Pros: free lunches
Cons: weak management
Edmonton Branch has been going down since last year. We had so much fun and it was a great place to work for. Recently, it is very tough to talk to people and management.
Overall, still nice people are around.

Houston branch was once a great place to work.
Systems Consultant (Former Employee), Houston, Texas – April 3, 2013
Pros: free lunches and decent pay.
Cons: middle management and career life program
The Houston branch was a great place to work at, until they replaced him with a new branch manager. Executive management really needs to re-evaluate their decision on this branch manager.

Practice managers (CSM) need to attend management courses on how to treat their employees and how to be better managers.

Accounts managers need to take the time – more... to learn the products they are selling and make sure they have the staff to support the technologies.

Career life program (CLP) is pretty much a waste of time as they don't move you up until they have a need or a client requirement. Raises are very seldom and if they are they are not that great. – less

Getting there.
IS Service Delivery Analyst (Former Employee), Houston, TX – August 22, 2012
Pros: environment.
Cons: compensation.
This is a canadian based referral agency. They charge big companies fees for their services and in return offer these same big companies an attractive contract agreeable to parties "A" and "B". "C", being the individual to be hired, is provided with a basic working contract allowing you to get by but not get ahead.
