Pros

Important mission and growing fast.

Cons

Leadership does not care about employees. Overtime is required constantly on weekends. HR is untrustworthy. If you complain to them you will get fired even with no performance issues. Nepotism is rampant throughout the company. They give false information and timelines to customers.

Pros

This is not a company where you show up, sit down, and collect a paycheck. People here are counted on—on their skills, their experience, and their ability to take ownership and actually get things done. I’ve seen reviews complaining about a lack of leadership, culture, and processes, and that hasn’t been my experience. This is a place where you work with your team to build those things. A company doesn’t magically come with a perfect framework—you create it with the people around you. That mindset is reinforced from the top. The new CEO is an awesome guy. I’m not high up in the company, yet he knows me by name—and that matters. He’s not off playing golf or hidden behind layers of management; he’s on the floor with us, engaged in the work. That kind of presence sets the tone for accountability and collaboration across the company. PDW is growing rapidly, and with that growth comes real responsibility. I’ve learned a great deal while working here—new technologies, new challenges, and how to collaborate effectively across teams. The pace and expectations aren’t for everyone, but they create real opportunities to learn, contribute, and make an impact. Some of the one-star reviews seem to come from people who struggled with that reality. Fast growth, accountability, and ownership can be uncomfortable if you’re expecting clearly defined lanes and minimal responsibility. The people here are real. The work is real. I’ve met some of the most intelligent, driven, and down-to-earth people at this company. We’re laying the groundwork now, and this place is going to thrive.
