Pros

The technology and platform is constantly innovating and improving. It’s a solution that can make a real impact in organizations. Good work life balance.

Cons

Leadership needs to be shaken up. Everyone comes from a similar background - either legacy phenom or career builder. The outcome is no diversity of thought or willingness to take input from others. The process is what is it and there’s no deviating from it even if it’s not working for certain markets. Lots of micromanagement and control from leaders on how things should be done. Feedback is not taken well. Very little diversity. Constant change in messaging, product pushes, etc. No communication between teams - very siloed to your specific team and any overlay counterparts. We push internal mobility to our customers, but lack opportunities inside Phenom to move around. I’ve seen more outside hires than internal in my 3 years here.

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.
