Pros

Claim to say people are their most important asset - actions do not reinforce that statement

Cons

Acquired two companies and for the past two months all we hear is "too soon to know" about everything - just "keep pushing forward, give us all you've got, make your numbers" and we have no idea if we have jobs, or if our families will have health insurance, or if we can provide for our families, or if we have a job will it even be what we enjoy/our career path etc- everything is "unknown". Based on the lack of interaction from the departments on the Planview side it seems evident many of us do not have a future at Planview -so put your words of "compassion and value" into action and give us an idea if we have jobs or not.

Pros

The team culture was incredible. Managers were very open and encouraging to explore new technologies and development processes. It was a very collaborative culture where engineers would often collaborate on solutions to complex problems which was especially nice given the displacement between all of the remote members of the team.

Cons

Outside of the team level, organization prioritization struggled. One day the stated priority might be one thing then the following day it would suddenly change. I would describe it as 'chasing a shiny object' instead of a thought out vision for what the project should be when it's complete.
