Project Management Office - Project Manager Fortra Employee Review

With deep disappointment, I include my experience with Fortra (Specifically Fortra's PMO). My time with Fortra's Alert Logic has been nothing short of disheartening and I find myself compelled to share my experience with others to help make an informed decision. The PMO leadership's blatant disregard for employee concerns, well-being, and mental health is appalling. The project management team is subject to abusive behavior and micromanagement from higher-ups which lead to an environment of fear and demoralization. The team leads and PMO Management that should be fostering a positive workplace became the source of anxiety and frustration. Moreover, when brave employees muster the courage to voice their concerns at the prompting of this same leadership, the company responds with retaliation rather than addressing these issues constructively. Employees who speak up are met with hostility and in some cases are unjustly laid off at the earliest opportunity. These laid-off employees are given the same paltry severance regardless of the number of years in service with the company indicating a lack of compassion and empathy. My time with Fortra's PMO has been a grim reminder that appearances can be deceiving. It is dismaying to witness an organization that claims to prioritize its employees' well-being and ethical values fail to uphold those principles when it matters most. I write this review out of concern for others who may be considering a role in project management with Fortra in the future. I desire that these words serve as a cautionary tale and encourage prospective employees to thoroughly research the company culture before making any commitments.
