Beware - Purchasing Manager Source (OR) Employee Review

Good benefits, flexible schedule, fun team.

Focus is too broad, and it leaves a lot of projects in the air. Often spent time focusing on a new big focus, to have it scraped and the time wasted.

Strong compensation and good benefits.

Leadership frequently shifts direction without clear strategic alignment, creating rework and internal churn. A significant amount of time is spent on presentations and optics rather than execution. Teams are under-resourced, and while overtime is not formally required, expectations make it effectively unavoidable. Stated commitments to work-life balance are not matched by operational support. The CEO has been an advocate for AI as a near-term replacement for support functions, including areas where it is not yet a practical substitute. This has introduced uncertainty across already stretched teams. Despite substantial VC funding, investment in core infrastructure and operational systems appears misaligned. The required proprietary software is below industry standard and adds inefficiency to essential workflows.
