Pros

Good Benefits, Good PTO and Holidays. Excellent training and tools. Good Culture and Core Values are embraced by the highest levels within the company. Not so much at first and second level management.

Cons

I work in the PS PMO. The amount of processes and overhead continues to increase, quarter after quarter. Adherence to the Processes are more important than the Product/Services being delivered. I find it impossible to get a promotion or move into a different role. One of the VPs told me if I didn't get "invited" to apply for a position by the hiring manager, I was already out.

Great company. Great benefits. Strong culture

Cons

Lots of org changes. 4 different managers in less than 5 years. Manages to OTE well. Hard to make 7 figure VAR earnings due to increasing quotas every year and decreased GP payout

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
