PROS reviews about "manager"

PROS do not have established career paths leaving many VERY SMART individual contributors feeling as if we are in dead-end jobs. Many department-level managers, directors, and senior directors do not have the skills or experience to be in the positions that they are in. Unfortunately career longevity and professional growth at PROS is dependent on who you know, socialize with, or are related to. This system of operating has created a culture which breeds favoritism and negates diversity & inclusion with regards to leadership positions across the organization.

There is a lack of diversity in upper management, but it does seem like they are working on the issue. I've seen people that are not good people managers get promoted to being people managers. This is not great for keeping talent. While most people have good work-life balance, I have seen some teams get very overloaded for extended periods of time. Again, this is not great for keeping talent.

No career path due to limited growth in many areas. Many good people have left the company recently because of this. Company eliminated formal performance reviews, so your compensation and bonus is completely at the discretion of your manager with no transparency into what's behind the numbers. Senior leadership lacks a clear strategy for growing the business; instead rolls out a different set of initiatives and buzzwords every few months to see what sticks without giving thought to how to execute. Lots of politics.

-Midtown traffic can be a nightmare -Parking garage can become full and no parking space is available -Managers can sometimes make crucial decisions that impact their direct reports without giving them notice or fair warning

Not everyone gets bonuses. I think the way they assess people could be better. Could have some more events, but usually related to your specific group

Lack of focus makes for inefficient development, and ultimately lackluster products

If you are an immigrant you will be paid much lower. And don't forget this company has too many levels and they don't easily promote if you aren't good in socializing and political games. Beware : QA team has too many ladies playing loud mouth that are supported by people speaking same language and zero technical skills but who have the capability to put you in bad light If you ask for help from a wrong person you will be doomed and dusted across teams :p Work from home is available based on your rapport with manager and management and not the need. I was denied permission to work for less than a month while some are working years together from home(ohh they aren't the best in class) If you are not good in estimating task time , socialize but do a lot of work this isn't a place for you. You will be cornered, look down upon or worse won't grow beyond senior or lead. All in all this place is good for getting your skills updated and not for people who do work. It's a great place if you can organize and delegate stuff. You are the best fit

Absolutely None! I mean that. The company, people, and culture are outstanding. I have to write 20 words about cons...so, no cons here.
