Pros

The individuals that worked along side me in the trenches. We all had an understanding that PCG was a toxic place to work. One where BAs and Ops do all of the leg work. This is not how other companies operate. PCG will not survive as a viable, progressive company because they refer to and treat employees as "resources".

Cons

As one review put it, it is a pyramid scheme. If you can survive by stepping on others and fitting into the culture of toxicity, sexism and secretivity then, your deeds will be rewarded. If you speak out regarding the abuse then you will be ostracized and forced out. Anyone with half a brain can see the reviews are padded, with management asking people to write reviews. If you are a recent college grad with any other viable offers, I encourage you to save yourself the misery of working at PCG. You can do better. For current employees reading these reviews for entertainment, know there is life beyond PCG. Use the skills you've gained to find another job.
