Pros

Decent (but not great) benefits, a (fading) culture of recognition, and the opportunity to learn lots of different skills across many industries.

Cons

The culture at projekt202 is slowly deteriorating; the company has transitioned from a place where the best and brightest were wanted and rewarded, to one where staff augmentation is really the primary driver of revenue. In addition, senior management tends to foster cliques where one is either on the inside or the outside. Inside the cliques there is upward mobility, outside the cliques you are little more than a commodity useful for your skill. Prospective employees need to realize this: the nature of projek202’s business is that *you* are their product. The company bills itself as an experience driven transformation shop, but the reality is they are selling you to their clients, and their money is made in the delta between what they pay you and what they charge their clients. Consequently, there is very little incentive to pay you what you are worth; paying you more means a harder time selling you to clients and less profit. So, the company tends to pay less than other companies of its size.

We really value your feedback. We're always striving to improve and the more feedback we get, the better we will be. Since the Amdocs acquisition there has been almost 100% turnover in company leadership with our most recent changes in the past two months. Our new leadership team has a new company strategy underway, and we are committed to a culture that constantly focuses on creating the best experience for our employees. We endeavor to listen, learn, pivot and continuously improve. Thanks for your years of service and the best of luck with your next career move.

Pros

There are still some good, smart architects left at P202. And the UX and Design people are great.

Cons

The software engineers, especially the backend software engineers, are put on extremely large projects and treated as Staff Augmentation to the big companies that are hiring p202. P202 software devs don't "own" the projects and don't have any control over the technology, the design, even the code. The full-time employees at the client sites are running the show and sometimes don't even assign work to the P202er's. It wouldn't be so bad except the Addison office is all hip and cool and the people who work there might as well work for a different company. It's extremely demoralizing to work at a depressing client site where you're treated with disrespect and distrust and then come into P202 and see everyone laughing, happy, and drinking beer on tap and acting like they still work at a startup. And the software devs out at the client site might be there for years with no exit strategy and no other projects they can move to.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback! We’re continuously looking for ways to improve our employee experiences and every piece of feedback helps! With larger, complex challenges we often need to work directly with our clients — and moving organizations forward at any scale takes collaboration, working hand-in-hand with our partners. This collaboration is key to both party's successes, and something that we’re continuously trying to improve! Please continue to provide feedback to your project and practice leadership so they are aware and can work on solutions with you!
