Pros

The first year was good, they kept a general pretense of a happy go lucky tech company about them.

Cons

The place is a churn and burn shop, I deeply regret being stuck in my boss's hotel room until 130AM before an 8AM wakeup, when I pretty much had to bargain for my sleep. Being asked questions like "explain why you should get a raise rather than the small fleet of indian engineers we could replace you with" really set the tone, as did having my boss blow up my phone on a last weekend trip with a dying relative.

Pros

Phenom offers exceptional flexibility with unlimited PTO and minimal micromanagement. The benefits are top-tier, and the free food in the office is a great perk. Overall, it’s a very employee-friendly environment that values autonomy.

Cons

There is a significant lack of direction within the CV team, with constantly shifting priorities and inconsistent delivery cycles. Methods and tools change frequently, and data collection is manual and inconsistent, frustrating both clients and employees. Furthermore, there is a lack of knowledge sharing between teams, which exacerbates inefficiencies. Leadership also lacks a clear vision for the department’s future, and there is no intuitive framework to streamline processes or deliver value more efficiently, creating ongoing friction for the team.
