If there was any way to give zero stars, I'd do it - Senior Level Contractor Converge Networks Employee Review

The statements made in this review are mostly incorrect and intentionally injurious. Converge Networks Corporation (CNC) was a subcontractor at the US Census Bureau during the period of Feb 2014 to July 2017. The prime contractor bid competitively and won the contract from the incumbent, a large company that couldn't bid on the new contract because it was reserved for 8(a) companies. The incumbent staff had high salaries and ample benefits when they worked for the previous contractor. The new award was not as generous as previous awards and the new labor rates were very competitive in comparison to those of the previous contract. As a subcontractor on the new award, CNC obviously got even lower labor rates than the prime contractor. In the process of transitioning the incumbent staff, CNC did its best to keep salaries as close as possible to the incumbent salaries. Being a small company, the CNC benefits were modest compared to those of the previous incumbent. CNC couldn't keep the seniority driven benefits that the incumbent staff had built with the prior contractor. The incumbent staff had two choices: either seek employment and consulting opportunities elsewhere, or accept the offers CNC made to them. They chose to transition to CNC and the new contract, but seem to have harbored more than resentment as exhibited in the above vitriolic review.
