Best Career Move I've Ever Made

Pros

I've been with Simplus for almost 4 years now, and I've seen many many changes. We've grown tremendously, as has my career. I've been given so many opportunities to grow as a consultant and a manager while at Simplus. Joining was absolutely, positively, without a doubt one of the best career moves I've ever made. I still vividly remember 4 years ago talking with Joe Carr, with me hemming and hawing about joining. I already had a good job and at the time it was a leap of faith leaving and joining Simplus. I made the plunge, and wow - thank goodness I did.

Cons

Simplus is a Salesforce consulting firm, and yes, sometimes tech consulting is very stressful. We can have demanding clients, we can have projects with high travel, there are many inherent attributes of consulting that make it "stressful". Many of these things aren't the fault of Simplus, it's just a demanding industry. The exact same stressors exist at competing firms - most of them even more so. You will be out of your comfort zone, you will get stressed out. But each time that has happened to me, I toughed it out, I leaned on coworkers and friends at Simplus, and always came out on the other side. From my coworkers to my managers to the leadership team, I'm having a tough time thinking of many 'cons'.

Pros

Pro I wish!! They ask for so much work that you will be exhausted in 3 months by doing 60hr billable work. Travels on weekends with preparation of workshops for client while you are in the air. All day you would spend with the client on-site and late in night you would be working for other client. Sometime you will get a call from anywhere in world to help your colleagues in assessment or pre sale call if you are expert in some domain (They don't care what time zone you are in). If you would say to them we did read about on Glassdoor review about extensive working hours they would say "That's why we have unlimited PTO!!" Guess what it's a big scam of making you happy to join them so they can drain your brain. When you would ask for PTO they would say we have that project coming and due to lack of resource we can not give you PTO more then a week. After 3, 4, 6 months you'll start realizing and your work life balance is gone soon you'll be hopeless and family less. All these crook care is expansion of Simplus, so they can make a good deal with Accenture like before with Cloud Sherpas. They have all developer in Philippines just like a sweatshop of Simplus to make your Salesforce Experience more Simple (Yah Simple!!).

Cons

1. No work life balance 2. No time management 3. No organization structure

We are sorry to hear you had a difficult time here at Simplus. Our company values are critical thinking, stewardship, and the underdog spirit. For our consultants working on client projects, we set reasonable billable hour goals for our consulting teams, but in consulting, we understand the workload does get intense at times. Any employee who is struggling with work-life balance is encouraged to speak with their manager and project leader about their situation.
