Politics + Management Challenges + Company Direction
Pros
+ Working from home + Easy hiring process + Travel every other week typically (so you aren't forced to travel weekly)
Cons
- Lay offs galore - Executive leadership strategy does not trickle down to managers - Lots of company politics and having to "suck up" to directors to get a promotion (not merit based) - Company is indifferent about poor managerial skills - Clients often have bad POV of PTC - 4 month training academy for Associate Consultants is a joke.. Could be limited to 1 or 2 months! - Was hired with 15 others and told "guaranteed promotion to consultant within 6 months" - worked for a year without a promotion - WAY too many delays- i.e. wasn't assigned a manager until 6 months in and we were supposed to have one at 2 months. - Lots of misdirection.. Poor company foresight led to several months of "being on the bench" with no project work and stagnating. - Too much bureaucracy and lack of communication between various components of the company
