Pariveda Reviews

Cons

Post covid the culture shifted. Few people wanted to return to the office. It was more difficult to have a deeper connection even with the online zoom options, etc. Sometimes reviews were not inclusive of all feedback a manager received about you from peers. While the review / promotion process is not performed in a bubble, it didn't always feel like you had a champion in your corner. And no, I don't say this because I was a bad employee, I was promoted while there. There was so much time spent on making sure that "everyone" was included that they would often make the environment feel "unsafe" to those that didn't see everything the company way. In other words, it was feeling more and more liberal and the conservative voice was being buried. Good people are being cut in RIFs etc., and rumored that more are coming. Doesn't feel/sound like it is financially as stable as it used to be.

Cons

sudden layoffs, unsustainable promotion cycle.

Cons

Consulting as a whole is in a recession at the moment. Not many place are hiring consultants.

Cons

The culture was never the same after the pandemic. Instead of adapting to the new world, Pariveda attempted to recreate the glory years. Nobody was inclined to come back into office and budgets were cut on anything social anyways. Several rounds of layoffs and a new CEO later, the company is a shell of what it once was with employees who no longer feel engaged with the mission and culture.

Cons

Leadership does not know how to keep, retain, and train Vice Presidents who know how to sell. When they did layoffs this year they laid off all of their top sales people they had put in administrative roles.

Cons

You don't have that much control over which projects you are placed on

Cons

Woke culture is being pushed on employees by upper management. The evaluation matrix for determining an employee’s promotion/level is extremely ambiguous and open to interpretation so even if you excel in an area or do a job better than someone making 50% more than you there is always a reason to tell you that you are being paid fairly or in other words, put you in your place. A fair number of upper management are out of touch with lower level employees. I recall being in an unpaid meeting where a Vice President gave a pointless presentation about a retreat that the VPs had and how much fun it was. After the meeting I reached out to a coworker and asked if they got anything out of the meeting and they said they felt it was pointless as well. I’d like to reiterate it was an unpaid meeting we were expected to attend. No offense to the good people who work here but this company will never retain top talent because the best talent will feel hindered/frustrated by the promotion process.

Cons

people got laid off a bunch

Cons

There aren't any cons at this time
