This ship is sinking.

Pros

Good place to start your career. Lots of great people, willing to answer questions and help you learn. Relaxed work environment. Decent pay and benefits. Some good middle level managers.

Cons

Struggling leadership, vague vision for company direction. A service corporation posturing as a products company. Very hierarchical, autocratic management structure. Lots of managers, directors, and vice presidents versus individual contributors. You will be told to get something done with few guidelines and vague expectations - then told to redo it at the last minute. Zero work / life balance. Be ready to work 50-60 hour weeks because of poor planning by management. Top performers put in a lot overtime and receive no meaningful recognition (raises, bonuses, etc.). Nearly impossible to get a promotion or change roles.

Pros

Decent pay. Enjoy the people I work with. Can work from home.

Cons

Work life balance is tough. Zero concern for employee development. Management plays favorites. Never say no to a customer, so the entry level employees have to deliver way to much while management looks good for keeping customer.

Pros

Great opportunity to learn about positioning a product that is incredibly difficult to sell. Exposure to so many different industries. Mature work culture not the typical boys club where there is pressure to be part of the group or miss out on opportunities.

Cons

Lack of communication between the HQ and regional offices. Lack of recognition for employees outside of HQ. Low pay. Change of strategy happens quite often. Very low morale. High employee attrition.

Pros

Base pay is below average, but a good bonus and stock compensation structure. Decent benefits relative to the cost. The company is getting bigger, but still small enough to be able to know many people. Public company means stock compensation is possible. Solid software product and customer base. The company has been around for some time, so there is some stability.

Cons

A click-oriented culture with few decision-makers. It takes a very long time to get things done such as agree on customer deal terms, purchase equipment, and make hiring decisions. Employees have little latitude to make decisions. At Facebook and Google you have employees unleashed, and they grow rapidly by "breaking things." At PROS there is an obsession with consensus to the point of analysis paralysis, and the company's growth has lagged more dynamic ones. Building is not in the best part of town, especially at night, though the parking deck is attached to the building.

Pros

Good pay Free snacks and beverages Lots of company event Flexible hours, work from home

Cons

Not very good at documenting their processes. This makes it difficult to train new people and follow through with improvements. Teams don't communicate well. Many simply don't have a good grasp on where their responsibilities end and begin. Don't like the work area, very noisy. No cubical, just desks facing one another separated by a low shelf.

Thank you for providing your review of PROS. we assure you we are in the process of addressing the knowledge management and the documentation of processes is one of the main initiatives. Just a suggestion, perhaps kindly ask your manager if he/she can move you to another quieter area cubicle.

Pros

PROS is a great place to work if you are fresh out of college and looking to jump start your career. The managers I have worked for have always been very open to provide feedback on a whim and also answer questions regarding a wide range of topics that may not necessarily fall directly under their area of expertise. Colleagues are very friendly. Work environment is very open and work timings are flexible with the option to work from home when needed. It is also a great place to learn how to work with customers and deal with the constant barrage of requests that come in from customers looking for specific features in the products they purchase from PROS.

Cons

Job roles can be better defined. Sometimes getting a promotion isn't always easy and people have been known to either switch departments or leave the company altogether after a couple of years. A clear sense of direction may be lacking sometimes in terms of where a project is going, how it needs to be implemented and what the project roadmap is for the future. Pay definitely needs to improve otherwise the really smart employees will definitely be lost.

Pros

Hard to say, some nice people, overall challenging work

Cons

Too many leaders, they have gotten over-loaded with Vice Presidents.....not enough people doing the work. No work/life balance, pay not competitive, many senior managers operate in silos and not qualified to be leaders.

Pros

Great draws and salary. good image and success in the travel and transportation markets. The enterprise market doesn't care. They have nothing that differentiates.

Cons

PROS is a train wreck! They pay well but leadership is the most ineffective I have ever been associated with. They lost the only Enterprise software sale executive, their SVP of Sales because he saw the writing on the wall. Don;t makle your numbers in North America? Change the messaging so you buy time with the investors...not happy with sales results, add hours of internal paperwork to inform executives that have no clue and in fact =, their impact is to ruin, delay or minimize the opportunities they are asked to help. You can't expect "parts pushers" to understand enterprise software sales but I guess buying PROS makes you an expert on selling Pros. N O T Territory's are a mess...Lets get the most inexperienced to choose accounts that have no possibility of success...treat the prospects like idiots, demean their requirements as unimportant and spend hour after hour trying to get resources aligned to the campaign and watch them do it their way anyway and fail over and over

Thank you for responding. We compete with talent and salaries on a continuously. How we pay is sometimes better and sometimes not. Sometimes we don't pay as much as the big tech companies, yet I assure you we are do have competitive salaries, good benefits, an awesome culture and many extra perks.
