Pros

Legitimate agile shop. We get everything we need to succeed. High level of autonomy. Flat company structure. Highly collaborative. Good pay for the area. Generally enjoyable.

Cons

Some of the people we've hired are great, others are less pleasent to work with. In a highly collaborative environment, social skills are extremely important, and it seems like we've been a bit lax on that in our hiring lately.

Thanks very much for the comments, it sounds like you're getting the benefits that we work to achieve here. As far as the difficult people, I'm not sure it's about anything we've done in the hiring process; it's not easy to determine what someone is going to be like to work with until you spend time with them. We would encourage you to give direct feedback to those people and escalate to team and/or executive leadership if that doesn't seem to have an impact. We are working to be a place where feedback is given regularly and openly, and people have the opportunity to understand what they need to change in order to be better team members. Thanks again, and it's great to have you!

Pros

My manager was very supportive she would give great feedback and try to help me grow . The people were awesome. My coworkers were great and supportive.

Cons

For all the projects we had regional managers there was one that had it out for me. This person was relentless and I went to my manager. The problem I had with this person was they never stop coming after me and my manager tried to stop this person in their tracks, but they tried a way to come after me. My manager’s manager was kind of not a good manager because he was all about the numbers and he didn’t care about the person. He never once had a one-to-one conversation with me I noticed that he played favorites with people and it’s just not good to do that. I believe that as a senior manager, you have to get to know your team instead of hearing what other people say. There was a senior project manager out there who essentially threw me under the bus. When people would resign, all of the projects that were left behind by the previous person they would dump it on one person. It is a lot of work to dump on a person. Some managers would help you grow and there are others that will do the work behind your back on a project. There was one who would start adjusting my project numbers and get mad at me. Mind you this was my first year and this manager would throw me under the bus. “Great Workplace?” Please
