Populous reviews

Great work environment, exciting projects

I usually describe my time at POPULOUS as the best company I have ever worked for. Perhaps I was lucky to fall into a great team and have the best boss ever, but what I liked most is that it certainly gave me the opportunity to discover and develop new skills I hadn't thought about before and which changed my career path and interests. Internally, the company operates on the informal side, which makes it feel like a small family, kind of rare in global companies with several offices worldwide. If you're interested in providing new ideas and work in new areas such as business development and marketing, it is usually welcomed by the company even if it’s not your official skill-set. They recognized my strengths and gave me the opportunity to manage projects for the first time; I didn't disappoint and felt valued for the hard work I put in. Not to mention that all the way I had the fantastic & inspiring guidance and support of one of the partners - an intelligent and intuitive leader who helped his team develop their best skills and talent. I also had the opportunity to work with the HQ leadership team, which was always kind and welcoming and also provided me all the guidance I needed to perform well and always valued my work. Populous also hires great designers, and I was impressed by the projects quality. All in all, I miss my time there - interesting projects, great company and empathetic people to work with.
