Computer Enterprises, Inc. (CEI)

Metrics based organization, but the number one metric is starts/revenue.  If you're successful there, they don't care about other metrics.  Good work life balance compared to other companies in the staffing industry.  

Management is open to new ideas and processes, company is small enough where you have the availability to do what makes business sense.  

Team environment, recruiting and sales treated as equals - it takes both sides to be successful and if someone knocks off Friday at 3 they're hurting the other side of the house not just themselves.

Ability to sell full suite of services the company offers, not just one.  

Compared to other similar organizations it's less micro management and more on individuals doing what they need to do to be successful.  Management is there to help people who are struggling.

Uncapped commission structure, and the people who work at CEI are friendly and nice to work with.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Managers, recruiters and HR personnel are smart, professional, great communicators, provide follow up for paperwork and tips for the client site.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There were no stressful factors about working at CEI; only those at the client site.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment at CEI is busy.  The culture is current, aware of changes in business and technology, smart, professional, empathetic but also savvy to the issues at hand.  I found the recruiters and HR to be communicative, interested in the client and me equally.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Good.  This is a good company.  Would like to have worked there again.

I was set to start on as senior business analyst at CEI to contract with mortgage connect. The week before the start date referenced in my signed employment agreement I got a call from the recruiter saying they decided to not move forward with the project. I turned down another offer because I respected the employment contract we had signed and they turned around and just told me sorry but not moving forward withe role - good luck. Very disappointed in this company. The recruiter seemed trustworthy and honest but don’t trust this company. And if you have other offers I suggest thinking long and hard before turning them down or leaving your job to come work here. 

The CEO/Owner is also a local wannabe polotician and radio personality. However, he is one of the shrewdest most cut-throat individuals I have ever encountered to date. You are only as good as the amount of money you're bringing in for he himself. Not the team or any fellow colleagues. Once he has drained the life from you he will replace you faster than you were brought on. This is a dead end regardless of what Dept. Or position you seek. Ask other former and even current employees in the PGH anand PHI branches....

Great for entry level recruiters but if you’re a seasoned Recruiter run. Thankfully, they have a Boot Camp there, where they bring in entry-level recruiters, and they turn us out in numbers. Without the entry-level recruiter, Boot Camp, his company would not survive. The best thing that they could do is higher every entry-level person, and teach them what they want, because if you are a seasoned recruiter, or have a little bit of experience, when you seven to this role, you will find that it’s very comical and very 10 years ago ways of recruiting. It’s not a bad start if you’re looking for something entry-level though. 

Laid back to a fault - management would show no helpful guidance then lecture employees for not performing up to their particular standards. Would only give opportunity to employees who were basically "friends" and the other newer workers were treated poorly and unable to find success. Turn around was awful and if you accept a job here you will be on the market again in under 6 months. Most of the employees were miserable and would leave the office once an hour to go gossip and smoke outside. Although management was nice and the culture was more laid back and relaxed, there seemed to be a lot of unfair processes happening.

Worked as a recruiter for under 1 year. Ownership is very out of touch with reality and the way recruiting is done in the 21st century. Raja Insists recruiters ask all applicants their previous years W2 and will not take no for an answer. If you refuse to give that information he will not approve you to be hired.  I am not sure why he even has managers, all final decisions on hiring is done by him, even at the intern level.  

Benefits are terrible. Laughable 401k match, only 2 weeks of PTO/sick time, no paternity leave.  Unless he wakes up he will not be competitive in PGH much loonger.

I've never seen such a metrics-driven environment. It's more like a high-level sales environment than recruiting itself. Management has a disconnect from other offices and have expectations almost impossible to meet with the ever changing requirements. They don't give employees the tools to succeed and make it obvious that they can be replaced easily. The stacks are more against you than helping you to be successful.

Overall I like CEI. There are times when the atmosphere at a client isn't the best, but I am a consultant so I don't mind much. It is nice to work on multiple projects and learn a variety of businesses, technologies, and tools. I will say that we don't get a lot of PTO, I took a hit from my previous job of several days. Things are still a little up in the air about remote work continuing so that is why the 3 starts for Work/Life balance.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I got placed very quickly working with them.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No issues during my time with them

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Worked for one of their clients, no knowledge of their culture

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
N/A, worked for a client not CEI
