Pros

Cool opportunities to be at the heart of the project management industry, where the professional is going, the great Scrum debates of our time.

Cons

Members of the leadership team are clearly in inappropriate relationships and have inappropriate working dynamics. Folks who move on regularly refer to themselves as having “escaped” and commonly marvel at how people thrive once they are free from this stifling environment. HR and the board alike are cowed by the current leadership and decline to take any corrective action, resulting in employee feedback about the toxicity of the organization going into a black hole.

Great company, great leadership, very clear strategy and a very passionate community.

Pros

Remote work, but that is really it.

Cons

Compensation used to be competitive, but workload, expectations and initiatives have increased, Everyone is being asked to do more, and work harder with the same resources with no consideration for fair pay. Senior leaders are well aware of how they are perceived, but choose to do nothing, or simply say they are working on fixing things, with no tangible efforts seen. Our CEO is running the reputation, culture, and company into the ground for the sake of revenue. Him and his executive team are known bullies, and even though this has been complained about by so many of us, even to HR, nothing is ever done about it. We NEED board intervention. Just take a look at PMI's ratings. Even with the reviews obviously crafted and directed by internal leaders to try and suppress negative reviews. I will also add that career growth is non-existent, and the determined best fix for these concerns was training telling employees its their problem to figure out. Really makes us feel valued.
