120VC Reviews

Pros

Amazing leaders who truly care and challenge teammates to grow toward self-actualization. A team of like-minded professionals who feel more like family members - more than just colleagues. Scholarship to the Transformational Leadership Program (TLP), a 14-week leadership course, as part of employment. Variety in project types and business verticals makes for a wide range of opportunities to build experience and help others. Flexible working hours and generous benefits package. Being part of 120VC has propelled me in my personal and professional growth and has introduced me to what it feels like to be happy AND GRATEFUL for where I work and with whom I work.

Cons

120VC is amazing, but we are a group of folks who are used to hit the ground running and moving quickly because time is money. That means we move quickly on day 1 WHILE we're onboarding. It's part of

Pros

Cons

None that I can think of

Cons

None I can think of at this time.

Pros

120VC has the most amazing culture that I've ever had the privilege to be a part of. From a visionary CEO down through the ranks, everyone at the company is enthusiastic, positive, helpful and loves being a part of this company. I was drawn here by these core values that can be found at the company's website: We sincerely care about people and demonstrate this in our words, our actions and how we deliver We think like entrepreneurs, innovate and challenge the status quo to create substantial wins for our clients We believe that HOW we win defines us We do what we say we are going to do, we are accountable We find Win – Win scenarios; trade-offs sell our stakeholders short Our team members mistakes are safe with an obligation to share the lessons learned We create an environment where people are encouraged to BE authentic If we think someone is making a mistake, we have an obligation to voice it WE WALK THE TALK… So far I've found that these are not just random statements, this company actually means what they say and they practice it every day.

Cons

Nothing that I've seen so far. This company, while going through a bit of a transition from a sales perspective is doing it the right way.

Pros

120VC is a team that walks their talk. From their mission to their core values. Every team member truly cares about the person to their right and the person to their left. This results in a product that is unmatched and an experience that is truly fulfilling. Our clients don't look at us like mercenary billing machines, but like trusted partners that are emotionally invested in their success. I feel empowered to make any decision necessary to ensure the best possible outcome for my client and their team members.

Cons

120VC is not a culture for individuals that put their needs before that of the team or the client. At 120VC we win for the team. In addition, Project Management focused on maximizing the efficient use of time and money to achieve transformation outcomes is hard work. This team works hard and plays hard. 120VC is not a place for cry babies!

Pros

1) Total immersion in project management with very structured guidelines, templates, tools, techniques and an auditor or program manager who will check that you are living up to the 120 standards on a weekly basis. 2) Good group of people / all professionals who are willing to lend a helping hand. 3) You will be a better (in fact, maybe the best) project manager after you've done your tour of duty.

Cons

1) If you don't do well with rigor and discipline, you are not going to like the experience. 2) The pay isn't top dollar in comparison to what other consulting firms are offering. 3) Difficult to maintain the pace and workload required of their project managers for longer than a year and half or two.

Pros

120VC is a company that is always working to improve and set the standard in project management that ultimately will lead to improved program and portfolio management. It is a place where you can master the mechanics of planning and executing a project/programs to always stay on top of challenges that arise. Great place for carrier growth, you will raise your program and project management game to a new level. Customers that are looking for quality in delivery will get it. Once you learn the 120VC standard you will have a whole new view of what it takes to manage any type of effort with real life tools that work!

Cons

120VC will require that you work HARDER than you probably ever have! Given that the expectation is extremely high for employee’s it can have the tendency to demotivate you and make you feel as though you’re not competent. The learning curve with the required company standard and customer overhead can at times be overwhelming.

Pros

I have been working with 120VC for nearly 2 years. Their PMs help clients not just complete projects as requested, but set the bar higher for best practices. Having come fresh into the IT consulting field, but with 8 years small business experience, I know the difference between a mediocre customer experience and a great one. I helped start a business and have seen it serve roughly 2000 customers annually for 11 years. In the project management realm, I have worked with several project and program managers, interfaced with a handful of directors and have been coordinating and managing small projects or pieces of larger ones. I have seen where other managers simply don't have the rigor or discipline to drive the project forward and lead. Initiatives, tasks or action items slip off the table. This is not the case with 120VC, they hire PMs that can deliver to a standard, which gives the client a new level of assurance and value. I have taken the courses and studied the Guidebook, I found these resources very insightful and supportive of my mission to serve each customer better than the last.

Cons

None that I am aware of

Pros

- Great competitive compensation and benefit package (unlimited PTO - within reasonable planning) - Great for self-starter and self-driven individuals - Recruit the best of the best staff who LIVES 120VC values and matches well with the client's culture - No micromanagement and challenge team to be continuously improve - Awesome PLP/leadership program that is FREE and required for 120VC staff to participate - Good structural and practical framework to learn Project Management for those who are early-on in their career - CEO is an amazing and inspiring leader

Cons

- There is a lot of materials to consume the first few months joining and can be overwhelming at the beginning on top of tackling the assigned project for clients - It is contract based work so client may change as often as every 6M to a year - Staff turnover occurs, some mostly hired by client - Remote teammates across US, minimal in-person interaction

Pros

I came to 120VC through their Apprenticeship Program, having a decade of work experience within the media industry - and very little experience in Project Management. Project Management is a career path that I sought out knowing that it could help build the professional skill sets I find extremely important in today's world. 120VC is a company that invests in, educates and values it's employees like no other... and I am proof of that. There is no place I would rather learn the discipline of Project Management as I feel there is no other company out there that is on top of the game as this one.

Cons

In the time I've been here, I haven't yet been able to come up with any cons!
