Pros

Working at Pharos has been one of the best experiences of my career so far. The senior leadership is competent, ethical, and extremely transparent. The company is doing very well financially, is growing rapidly, and is also PE backed. Co-workers are intelligent people and there aren't too many B or C players on any of the teams that I've interacted with. Pharos is a very customer-focused company as well, with tons of happy customers because the products are solid. You can work remotely or at the Rochester headquarters; most new hires have been remote, which I see as a good thing because Pharos can bring in the best talent from around the country.

Cons

More product training for new hires would be helpful; the products and end users are technical, and the non-cloud products are extremely complex. Company is running lean, probably because of the PE ownership, which can be stressful at times.

Competitive benefits package. Good work life balance compared to many companies in the industry. Flexibility where needed, depending on the role. Opportunities for cross functional collaboration. Supportive colleagues who are willing to collaborate. Leadership that is generally approachable and open to questions. A culture that values professionalism and accountability. Feeling that your work contributes to meaningful outcomes.

Cons

Role clarity may shift during reorganizations or strategic pivots. Some roles may require managing many priorities at once. Some decisions or changes may not be communicated as clearly or as early as employees would like.

Pros

It was a wild ride to say the least. The current CEO should not be in the position he is in, he should stick to marketing, although I am not sure he was even good at that. Scatterbrained is not a strong enough word for accurate description. The people you work with day in and day out are great, for the most part, and most of them truly do want to see the company thrive. Management on the other hand doesn’t seem to care much about talent as much as they do about numbers that other companies are meeting, but in today’s age, hitting the right person at the right to to speak about something that isn’t a priority or a thought until it’s broken is difficult.

Cons

The sales people get away with doing nothing. The cycle is long, I understand, but the basic concept of follow up and consistency is definitely not instilled in any of their practices.
