Good Values, confused leadership - Sr. Director TrussWorks Employee Review

truss has an excellent culture, the best I have ever had. Very inclusive, welcoming and open.

You have to like working in a contracting-focused industry.

Inflated salaries. They do have to pay more to get talented people to join.

This is a lifestyle business for the CEO. He is more concerned with giving speeches and writing books than leading. The COO thinks very highly of herself and will not take any constructive criticism. Her favorites agree with her 100% and know what to say to get ahead. Do not be her bearer of bad news. They can’t close new government work. They rely of the COOs personal connections at the US Digital service to get heads up on contracts before others and still seem to not be able to close them. Don’t join the sales team unless you want to be told how to sell by people who have never sold only to be told that you are responsible for the lack of sales. No financial incentive to make sales.
