Pros

The real pro at Bluewolf are its people. Everyone is willing to help each other out, everyone want to work toward the goals set in the project etc. The people make working there bearable. New manager sent to Australia to improve process around scoping (locking in scope) and employee reviews. CEO seemed like a nice guy and a good CEO, however being in Australia I didn't have much to do with him personally.

Cons

Though everyone is very nice and wants to work hard, management don't have the employees' backs. There were too many time when, as a consultant who's job it is to call out what should and shouldn't be done in a project during scoping and requirements gathering, issues were called out or items were said to not be possible within the time frame or budget/ resources available... management would walk out of a meeting with the client and tell the staff that it all must be done by a certain date, completely disregarding the 'worker bees' opinion..... it was never done by that date despite hours upon hours of overtime. This happened again and again. Scope creep was constantly allowed to occur and senior management would let it happen despite push back by consultants. Pay rises were not good if you got one at all. Annual reviews did not reflect any of the real work you had done in the company as management didn't seek for feedback about you until after they review you. Your review affects promotion, pay rises and ability to go to training courses. They were happy to gather feedback after the review and give a bad score but even though they would come back with a remark of, 'oh you shouldn't have gotten that score'..... they wouldn't change it despite having the power to do so.... this happened to many, many people in the 2014/2015. Most likely a cost cutting strategy to avoid pay rises. Manager was sent from the states, I really hope she can clean up the management issues in BW Aus. They need it.
