Pros
The people are great. They are so many talented people in every department. There are people here I’d consider to be geniuses in their field, but they’re so humble you’d never know it until you saw their work.
There was a new CEO recently who really seems committed to wrestling Pavlov into a more approachable place to be from the office to the culture to better work-life balance.
They encourage everyone to take the time to learn. There’s no fear of knowledge gaps here. People love to hear “I don’t know” so they can sit down and learn with you.
Cons
Upper management demands the new and shiny instead of addressing the severe ongoing issues which has accrued over several years of mismanagement and chaotic directives from leadership. They need to listen more to the entire team instead of a few noticeable individuals.
Oftentimes, we will be told to work on a project. We invest a lot of time into research, planning, requirements gathering, and learning new skills. Then after a few days of work, the entire project will be cancelled by upper management. This happens on a regular enough basis to have generated a saying among employees of all departments.
