Pros

Salary is good. That's literally all.

Cons

The Bullhorn PMO has no conviction in it's processes, goals, or expectations. Processes, goals, and expectations change on a whim and are very poorly communicated. PMO leadership is poor. Management is antagonistic and uninterested in proactively coaching or developing PMO team members. Leadership refuses accountability for undermining PMs on their projects. Despite preaching a core company value to not "assume negative intent", belief in that value does not extend to the PMs because they will assume that you are the problem - not the broken product, failures to meet client compliance requirements, forcing teams to work on deliverables with no approved change order or contract, or multiple support or technical departments you must rely on with no accountability to deliver work they are scheduled to deliver on time, within budget, or within scope. Every project you work here that is budgeted for over 100 hours will end up delivered either late, over budget (even after fudging numbers), or not as initially scoped - or many times all three of these things. If you've been a project manager long enough to get a CAPM or PMP, don't work here. This is PM hell. You will regret associating with this company. Pick literally any other SaaS opportunity, it won't be worse.

Pros

-Brand is well-known, Bullhorn has established their position in the market, navigated numerous highs and lows through the years, and remains at the top -Constantly evolves with the industry, feels like the business strategy is ahead of the curve and not behind the curve -Dynamic and innovative, I learn new things constantly and I am rarely bored here -Consistently promotes from within and encourages career growth via ad-hoc opportunities and stretch projects, invests in talent via leadership programs -Culture of excellence, attracts high-achievers, high standards are balanced with the flexibility of a remote-first environment and trust, leaders treat you like adults and empower you to manage your own time and work -The core values are aligned with my personal values, and employees actually live them (leadership included) -The people are the best: Agile, collaborative, smart, innovative, and they CARE about each other, about the work, and about the industry; global workforce offers incredible opportunities to learn about and work with other people toward a common goal

Cons

-Bullhorn changes and evolves with the industry, which sometimes causes shifts in projects, priorities, and teams. If you don't like change and/or can't connect your day-to-day work to the bigger picture strategy of a company and pivot accordingly, this isn't the place for you. The expectations and pace aren't for everybody (but 10/10 would recommend to the right person).

This is a really terrific review, and is one of the accurate portrayals of our company. For all the PROS, the cons are real - we move quickly, and a certain type of talent thrives here. I hope you continue to love it and feel energized by where we are going - if not, you know where to find me!! - Kelley Morse, CPO

Pros

Approachable leadership that leads by example Excellent managers Top notch culture and people Flexible and remote work options Great work/life balance Unlimited PTO Solid health benefits + 401K Mentorship program Always evolving - keeps you on your toes Constant learning opportunities

Cons

Always evolving can also be a con - while I personally thrive in this setting, the constant change can (and has been) not ideal for some, especially in the last few years.

This is an incredibly thoughtful review. What sticks with me is the part on seasons and living through each of them. Getting through winter makes the summer feel just that much better, and while you're toughing it out, the relationships only deepen in times of challenge. It's a really good analogy. Thanks for giving me a few to mull on this morning. Hope you continue to love it here, thrive here through all the seasons ahead! - Kelley Morse, CPO
