Pros

Salaries are consistent with similar agencies in Seattle.

Cons

My experience at PRR was ultimately disappointing. The organization has very high turnover, which made it difficult to build continuity and institutional knowledge. The workplace culture also felt strongly politically progressive, and employees who didn't share those perspectives could feel out of place. Although DEI is frequently discussed and featured in the company's marketing, I did not see a corresponding long-term strategy or meaningful investment to support those initiatives internally. There often seemed to be a gap between the messaging and the execution. Professional development was another area that needed improvement. There was no formal training program for consultants or structured investment in junior staff development. Much of the learning came through trial and error rather than mentorship or organized onboarding. Project staffing also felt inconsistent. Employees were not always assigned to work that aligned with their interests, experience, or strengths, which limited opportunities for growth and job satisfaction. The organization appeared to rely heavily on a small number of people, creating bottlenecks and making workloads uneven. At the same time, HR seemed stretched thin managing ongoing employee concerns and unresolved workplace issues, leaving many staff feeling that problems were not addressed effectively. Overall, PRR has talented people and interesting client work, but in my experience it would benefit from stronger leadership, more intentional staff development, better workforce planning, and greater alignment between its stated values and internal practices.

Pros

The work was really impactful and staff were supportive, friendly, talented, and invested in the work. Flexibility and work-life balance were excellent.

Cons

There has been massive change over the last year, and not for the better. Things were never perfect, but the culture bridged the gaps in a lot of ways. Then came unexpected layoffs, hiring expensive executives who don't live in states where PRR has offices or projects (after years of employees being told that they couldn't relocate to states where the company didn't have work), bringing in outside contractors to make big (and often uninformed) decisions and conduct costly audits, chaotic change management, decreased transparency, a widening gap between staff and leadership, and then more layoffs. All this destroyed morale and trust in an organization where culture used to be a major bright spot.
