The challengesTechnology Elite is a 3rd company that provides seat slots and resources to company's that want to offshore their services. So it's possible that you will be hired to work for a 3rd party company that also offers 3rd party services (see the big picture?).
So make sure you know what you are getting into before you join this company, they don't say everything in the interview.
They advertised you will be surrounded by geeks, but you can't really talk to them as they can be working for a different company on a different schedule and they post everywhere saying "OBSERVE SILENCE AT ALL TIMES"
Con's
YOU EAT ON YOUR DESK - They maximize the room capacity they don't even have a break room/pantry where people can relax and talk.
NO SECURITY OF TENURE - your job is coterminous with the company that offshores the manpower and resources, if they decide to stop anytime, you are out of the job.
NO CAREER PATH/DEVELOPMENT - there is no career path here, as your specific position is being offshored, there is no growth. You are NOT PART of the company you are working for.
NO ANNUAL TEAMBUILDING ACTIVITY - nothing the whole time I was there, make sense because you are working for different company's and your position needs to be manned as that is what they are paying Technology Elite for.
NO METRICS - no metrics are provided so it's not clear what you need to meet, the problem is evaluation is subjective.
SALARY APPRAISAL - you will need to ask for salary raise, it is not automatic even if you did great on your evaluation. (they have a bi-annual evaluation). If you want an additional salary, it's an additional responsibility.
They have a sister company, they occupy the same building, see the feedback for yourself for that company. Its name is TWIST RESOURCES.
