Ascendion is a legit staffing firm, I’ve taken a contract through them before. Their benefits are not great (ex you pay 100% of the premiums) but they do offer what matters the most. You will be working with the client on a day to day, your only interaction with Ascendion will be submitting your timesheet every week and having your HR POC on file in case you have questions. Overall working with them was adequate.

I’ve since moved from the big 4 I was to lead architecture at one of the banks.

Ascendion formally collabera was selected for the first rfp I issued. And a few others in fact.

Let’s just say I’m not blown away. Lot of talk, little substance. Dont see the level of ownership I would expect and no chance in hell the work we brought them for will be delivered in 25.

Is the reputable client you speak of a bank? If so, you’re probably heading my way.

But this is only my view - may be an isolated one

Thank you for the question!

To clarify the relationship between Ascendion and Collabera: Collabera is our parent company, a well-established IT staffing firm that has been operating for over 25 years. In 2022, Collabera made a strategic decision to separate its engineering business into a dedicated entity, and Ascendion was born from that. While Collabera continues to focus on talent staffing solutions, Ascendion was established specifically for full-service digital engineering. Think of it as the same trusted ownership, but with a sharper, dedicated focus on engineering outcomes.

As for who we are today: Ascendion is a leader in AI-powered software engineering, helping businesses innovate faster, smarter, and with greater impact. We partner with Global 2000 clients across North America, UK, Europe, and APAC to solve complex challenges in data, experience design, software product engineering, and workforce transformation. Powered by expert engineers, thousands of AI agents, and our Engineering to the Power of AI™ (EngineeringAI) method, we deliver measurable outcomes that build trust, unlock value, and accelerate growth.

On legitimacy — it sounds like the process already felt right, and that's not a coincidence. We're intentional about connecting people with real opportunities at reputable global enterprises, and we want every candidate to feel confident in what they're stepping into.

On culture — we're a growing company and we know experiences can vary, but we genuinely care about the people who come on board. We aim to be transparent, invest in career growth, and make sure our people feel supported. We're proud of where we're headed and excited about the journey.

If you've got more questions, please don't hesitate to reach out, we'd love to chat. Hope this helps!
