Thirdware Solution Reviews

Application asked questions about applicant's religion, age, race, father's job, applicant's illnesses, etc. A critical line of the contract was a small line of text on the first pay stub an employee received stating that Thirdware would not withhold state or city taxes (not legal in any state). By this point applicants have already quit other jobs and have no options but to live with the situation and make quarterly payments to the state he/she works in. Income is reported to Ohio, not a place where the company's employees live or work. Which leaves employees with the question of, which state to file taxes in. Due to the improper manner of withholding taxes, employees are not allowed to collect workman's comp or unemployment per the state employment division representative. (Turns out this may not exactly be true. An employee can attempt to apply for unemployment in the state of Ohio.) 2013 W2 did not display employees' addresses. Not an accident per CPA tax accountant/attorney(s). All interactions with the company were with people in India unfamiliar with U.S. laws and regulations. No company meetings to discuss processes or procedures. Management and representatives of Thirdware quickly become hostile and intimidating should an employee not know the corporate processes for submitting hours or other billing related tasks. Would not reimburse employees for having to purchase everything from pens and sticky notes to projectors and chairs necessary to do their jobs effectively. Contracts and corporate communications were very lacking in critical details. Poor communication skills. Not an advocate for employees forced to work in excess of forty hours without any type of payment for the extra hours or ability to use the hours for holidays/vacation/sick days.

1. Lack of projects. 2. Reluctant to explore and bring projects based on the latest technologies. 3. No onsite opportunity. 4. Managers who are newly hired to the firm are severely unskilled. 5. Once Thirdware had many implementation projects, now they just have only a few, could be counted on fingers, that too of only one hand. 6. Thirdware runs because of one client which holds major portion in stakes, and even there Thirdware has been getting a bad name recently due to few mess ups that has happened for different projects. 7. Things move extremely slow in the projects which belong to their biggest client. New ideas are always discouraged by clients, at least in my own personal experience. 8. In a team, you can find only one or two good technical resources, others just come and pass their time in office. The ones taking responsibilities would face the burden of work despite others having plenty of bandwidth, not because they don't want to work but they don't have the expertise.
