ITCON Services

If you’re looking for an honest, unfiltered review, take a moment and read carefully.

My experience with ITCON has been, without question, the most disappointing of my professional career. I say this sincerely and without exaggeration. In fact, it’s difficult to imagine a worse workplace experience.

The one redeeming aspect of my time there was my colleagues. I had the privilege of working alongside hardworking, compassionate individuals who shared similar sentiments and helped each other navigate a very difficult environment. Their solidarity made an otherwise toxic atmosphere a bit more bearable.

Let’s break it down:
-Leadership:
The primary reason for the company’s high turnover is the leadership—specifically, the president. In my experience, he is unreceptive to constructive feedback and disregards advice from his own management team. The leadership style is authoritarian and resistant to any suggestions for improvement, which directly stifles both company and employee growth.

-Work-Life Balance:
There is little to no regard for work-life balance. If you thrive on excessive work hours and are comfortable sacrificing weekends and personal time, this might suit you. However, for most professionals seeking a healthy life outside of work, this is not a sustainable environment.

-Respect in the Workplace:
Respect for employees—particularly women—was consistently lacking during my tenure. Many team members felt undervalued and overworked, and in my own case, the job took a significant toll on my mental health and personal relationships.

-Compensation:
While the company may offer competitive pay to attract talent, it often feels like a tactic to overshadow the underlying issues. In my view, no salary is worth enduring the level of stress and lack of respect experienced here.

-Company Culture and Growth:
If you’re hoping to make an impact, grow professionally, or take pride in your company’s culture, this may not be the right place for you. With the current leadership in place, meaningful change feels unlikely.

-A Final Note:
There is no formal Human Resources department. They come and go because Zarrar refuses any productive advice on how to better his company. That alone speaks volumes about the company’s priorities and approach to employee well-being.

I hope this honest feedback helps others make an informed decision.

I worked at this company for over two years. Although I gained exposure to high-pressure operations and tight deadlines, my overall experience was impacted by significant issues in leadership, decision-making, and internal support systems.

1.	Leadership Approach: The CEO maintained very tight control over all departments. Even senior managers were unable to make routine decisions independently, which created a restrictive and micromanaged atmosphere. Contributions were often overlooked, and team morale suffered due to a lack of constructive feedback or appreciation.

2.	Human Resources Limitations: The HR department played more of an administrative role than a supportive one. In moments of workplace stress or conflict, HR rarely intervened or advocated for employee well-being. Concerns brought to their attention were often acknowledged but not addressed.

3.	Audit Practices: During external audits, employees were encouraged to prioritize speed over proper procedures. This raised concerns about long-term sustainability and transparency.

4.	Workplace Culture: There was a strong emphasis on delivery, but very little investment in employee development, feedback, or recognition. Constructive criticism was often discouraged, and some team members felt uncomfortable raising concerns.

Final Thoughts
If you are looking for a workplace where leadership empowers teams, HR advocates for staff, and ethical practices are upheld, I recommend conducting thorough research before applying. This may not be the right environment for those who value transparency, autonomy, and a supportive culture.


ITCON provides decent pay but unfortunately falls short in several key areas. The work/life balance is poor, making it difficult to juggle personal and professional commitments. Although the company's culture is diverse, this positive attribute does not compensate for employees often feeling underappreciated. Hard work is common among staff, yet recognition for those efforts is minimal, leading to feelings of demotivation. 
Additionally, opportunities for career advancement are virtually non-existent, stifling professional growth. While the initial salary might attract some workers, the lack of support, recognition, and growth potential makes ITCON less appealing for those seeking a more rewarding work environment. Ultimately, it’s a place where employees may feel their contributions are overlooked, and their career paths are stalled.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The opportunity to perform different duties within the department.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Occasionally tasks need to be completed in a short time period. You aren't always given access to all the information you need to complete a task.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The company hires diverse people from many different cultures and background. The environment is somewhat casual. There isn't a lot of interaction because many people work from home.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Answering emails or communicating through Teams. Using different programs to gather information and research employee issues.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexibility of the work schedule.  8 am to 8 pm.  Usual workday is 7:30 am to 4:30 pm but Team Leader is generous and willing to listen. 40 hours weekly is what we are asked to work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Quality assurance.  85% pass rate per contract and it's a little stressful.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great. Plenty of virtual events and parties. Healthy group activities


What is a typical day like for you at the company?
8 hours in the comfort of my home.

Horrible leadership, no care for junior employees, WLB does not exist. There is something seriously wrong with the culture and values at the firm in recent years and I'm increasingly embarrassed to work here. The firm's only goal is to satisfy the clients which comes at the great expense of its own employees. This job has made me have a lot of anxiety, stress and depression.

THE CAREER GROWTH AT THIS COMPANY IS POOR. No matter how hard you work, how much stress you take, and how many exhausting hours you put in, you will not find peace here. The upper management doesn't care about anyone. They are just interested in boosting profits. It was awful! 

Another thing I disliked was the lack of recognition. It was ridiculous that no one ever got any appreciation. I quit as soon as I could. BEWARE of the hostile ambiance too. AVOID WASTING YOUR TIME! 

This company's work environment is often too stressful. Employees are forced to deal with plenty of tasks with very short deadlines. We also have to deal with some of the managers who are useless and unhelpful, which just makes our work ten times harder than they should be. This company also has limited advancement opportunities, which is a big deal for people who want to grow their careers. 

Management needs to step up and rein in certain individuals who think they are better at their jobs than they truly are. My time here was difficult and the company chases work that it shouldn't and tries to fit square pegs into round holes to write proposals. They need a better go/no-go decision-making process and need to pursue only contracts that they truly have expertise in.

What is the best part of working at the company?
No benefits, no health insurance, no pto no paid holidays

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Micro managing and allows callers to yell and insult you. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Lame and it is way over the top

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
normal calls non stop and they come in automatically
