Pros

I guess working with incompetent managers means the work is easy.

Cons

Blatant sexist culture - telling a woman in a leadership position she’s being too emotional takes us back to 1960. Leadership will ask for feedback and then reprimand you if it’s somewhat negative - and they’ll go on to belittle you if you’re a woman. HR will tell you that your role is redundant unless you’re in the Bangalore or Folsom offices and treat you as such until you quit. There are at least 7 layers of incompetent management on every team so I think that tells you where the role redundancy lies. The company is a sinking ship based on customer feedback which leadership continues to ignore so steer clear!

PowerSchool Group Response

We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review! It is unfortunate that you experienced this at PowerSchool. Our growth has presented some challenges when it comes to merging roles and responsibilities, that can create some redundancies in the structure. Leadership and HR are working to align these objectives and hope to use this as feedback moving forward.

Pros

There are literally no pros that I can provide

Cons

Was here less than 3 months and laid off due to reorganization, redundancy and lower than expected revenue in the first half of the year, even though I hit my Q2 quota. Literally laid off on the last day of Q2 when I brought in a large (over $75K) new sale that I won’t even see the commission on. Worst company and employee experience ever. Changed my account base and account quota twice during the quarter. They overcharge their customers with their yearly “uplift” without any added benefit or value to their services. They are a complete mess and it’s no wonder why their customers are leaving and cancelling their renewals. They have lost all trust in PS. They should be called POS. Their customer/tech support is awful and will take weeks if not months to resolve a customer issue. SLT just says “work harder, build a fake pipeline so that Severin or Bain will think we are doing great!” Ugh. Gross. 20/10 do not recommend.
