        Business Outlook

        Pros

        My peers were amazing: understanding, supportive, and passionate about their jobs and responsibilities. There is a genuine hunger to learn more and be the best designer possible, executed through routine critiques, lunch and learn style sharing, and group knowledge shares.

        Cons

        There is some wider organization that needs to be done for an experience team to truly function. We spent time producing minimum viable products that were not necessarily user-friendly and would maybe never see the light of day anyway. The project intake process needed organization and more detail, and lacked stakeholder buy-in, leading to scope creep. Demands would find their way into briefs that designers should have no business solving and executing for. For example, we were often assigned the creation of presentations, where we had a primary responsibility in generating content in which we did not have expertise. The organization is incredibly siloed, which made researching user experience issues for both employees and customers extremely difficult, and senior leadership placed the onus on brand new, entry-level employees for breaking down these siloes and navigating the organization without an org chart or diagram of the organizational function at large.

          Pros

          Actually hired by a family and did training and employment through PPL. Most of my positive interactions are because of the family rather than the company, who I interacted with rarely.

          Cons

          When I did need something, like help with a missing paycheck or training, they became annoyingly difficult to get a hold of.

            lack of leadership in a lot of areas no transparency feels like no real direction some days

              Cons

              hired as a remote employee only for some CEO and VP level people to switch us to hybrid. Yeah sure I love that the millionaire is going to tell me how this is so great for all of us when they effectively don't feel the same burden that a regular peon like me does with time lost for commuting, car depreciation, gas, and having to pay to park downtown.

                        Pros

                        The company is always looking to improve their process and internal organization so that we perform at our absolute best. We are valued as a team and there are many perks to working at PPL including excellent benefits, generous PTO, a lifestyle spending account, and annual bonuses.

                        Cons

                        Everyone must work an emergency role, and it can change periodically depending upon what they feel is necessary. This means you could be required to travel and stay in a hotel, or perform jobs completely unrelated to your position, or work in a call center for 2 weeks with customer service doing 10 hour shifts.

                      Always remember these when interviewing (based on my experience): - You will not be working with the recruiter you talk to - Large companies = chances are good of you not working directly with the mgr/sup who interviews you. - Small companies = chances are you will work closely with the mgr/sup who interviews you. But, chances are good the team you work with is not on this call - In both situations - ask to meet you direct team, if you can, to get a feel for how things are
