Pros

A great company to to begin the journey of becoming a project manager. They allow you the time necessary to learn the role and expectations of a project manager

Cons

Low to minimal communication between upper management and field project managers. Expectations are initially set upon hiring, and you are given given full control to become productive without guidence or direction to resources.

Pros

Really could be a great place to work if they would figure out what they want to do. Software company? We swing hammers and fix things but our software is like something from the 90s or early 2000s

Cons

Constantly pivoting without instruction, explanation, notice. No objective measurements in place and when they do try it's done just to throw something out there and see if it sticks

When blazing a new trail to create something special, there will be pivots and missteps, but we are pushing to minimize those! The in-platform feedback button and bi-weekly all hands tech updates offer open feedback forums, and the feedback we get through those channels are really helping. Thank you for taking time to provide feedback!
