Pros

They have really good health insurance and a good match on the 403(b)

Cons

Be careful, all of the great reviews on here are from people that work in the various departments that get free trips to Hawaii. Unfortunately, you will not be part of those teams. IT has lost the majority of their best technical talent for a reason - this place is more concerned about outsourcing your job than they are with actually keeping you busy. Any promises that outsourcing is over is just temporary until they have more funds. Just look at the CTO's background on LinkedIn. Her best skill is outsourcing. The Business Analyst team doesn't actually gather requirements for the development team - they gather requirements for themselves so that they can do Salesforce configuration. They will occasionally give you Salesforce development work at the last minute and expect you to work 14 hour days to get it done by their deadline. Any project that succeeds is credited to the Business Analyst team. Any project that fails is immediately blamed on the Development team.

Pros

Sadly after this experience, I have none.

Cons

Everything is made to look great in the beginning by making you believe you have a sense of belonging, and they keep this facade going by giving you free food from time to time. This is a horrible company that tries to distract you from the truth. Rather than seeking professional solutions, you are made to feel awful if you are underperforming in any of your daily tasks. That is not how you lift up your culture, and firing people with little to no warning is not how you solve problems. It’s how lazy people with no leadership skills sweep things under the rug. Just scroll down and read the other reviews on this page. The negative reviews aren’t wrong, it’s the reality of the people they’ve been replacing in their solution center. That part of the company is the biggest embarrassment of all. Very unprofessional, and very manipulative. A high percentage of people that work at PLTW are miserable, and anyone who is leaving positive feedback here is likely an employee from higher up the chain. Stay clear of this company. I’m trying to find something else as soon as possible.
