Revolent Reviews

Many people finish the training only to be left hanging for months, and even over a year in some cases with no interviews or placements on the horizon, and little communication from recruiters or management. While this is a good opportunity to work on completing more certificates, most people are expecting actual work experience, as certificates can only get you so far. Also, since you are not offered a full salary until you are placed, this causes people to be stuck living on minimum wage while being powerless to find a placement, and left in the dark on the process. With the ridiculously enormous buyout from the contract, most people cannot afford to terminate early, and end up stuck making minimum wage and not even getting interviews for placements. I was often ghosted for weeks at a time by the people who were supposed to be setting up interviews for me. I'd say only sign on to Revolent Group if you can afford to spend a year + making minimum wage, studying Salesforce from home, and making your own goals around certificates and projects.

-Lack of real ongoing support. They give "tech tasks" which are supposed to challenge you and provide "real world" projects, but they're really lacking and become repetitive. I personally pitched the idea of having the instructors going through a live demo project where they show case a start to finish project. Those I pitched it to loved the idea, but nothing ever came from it -You're often sitting on the bench with no guidance and no projects being pushed your way -Personally, I went 4 for 4 in client interviews, yet towards the end (after numerous internal ppl quit) I was told they could not find me any projects so they were letting me go.... Funny, because some of their clients have since reached out to me and within a week, I have 3 standing offers. I'm not sure why they couldn't find me a project. -There is so much turnover even on the internal operations side. I had a hard time keeping up with who my direct report was, or who to go to with specific questions. When I got off a client and came back to the bench, half the people on the current bench were fired. -The instructors for the L&D team while you're on the bench seem incredibly overwhelmed and just bombard you with a list of projects so that they just have to monitor a spreadsheet you provide updates in, rather than doing actual on-going training. It becomes tedious to provide daily/weekly updates with such detail so they can provide feed back to upper management/"the board". It's almost like you're a child in school. You're given a bunch of documents, projects, trailhead modules to work on, but there's no real critique or going over things. It's simply you providing documentation that you worked on something. -Severance package is horrible. -You get locked in to a 2 year contract and have to pay back 18-24k if you break it early. They INFLATE the cost of training to keep you trapped into a contract. -During training, you're on basically minimum wage ($15/hr). After that, you get paid 55-60k on avg. -Your 2 year contract period does not start from Day 1 of training. It starts either upon completion/graduation of the training or first day of client placement - this was very vague and never got a true answer. -As mentioned above, I went 4 for 4 in interviews where all 4 wanted to bring me on board. Two of them were tied up in 6-8 weeks long paperwork and agreements. It got to the point where the client backed out because it took too long, yet somehow that was my fault. -Everyone who was let go, was done so without warning and caught off guard. -IF YOU JOIN, READ YOUR CONTRACT VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE DECIDING!
