Performance Development Group Reviews

Pros

Smart people, supportive culture, robust onboarding, team approach and very client centric

Cons

Small organization so bandwidth is stretched at times.

Pros

Collaborative team selling environment where your voice is heard

Cons

Having a strong professional network is key to growing a targeted account list

Pros

Colleagues are genuine and engaged in their work at PDG. I feel supported and respected as an employee. Leadership is very approachable and collaborative. A very transparent company. Information is openly shared. Learning is an integral part of the company culture.

Cons

I wish there were more opportunities to get together in-person with colleagues. We're entirely remote.

Pros

I get to work with super smart, kind people who love to help PDG clients, consultants and each other. Flexible work - So many companies talk about work/life balance but we take it seriously EXCELLENT benefits and great pay

Cons

As a new employee here at PDG, I am eager to get up and get to work everyday - there are no cons that Ive experienced

Pros

Driven, desire to grow, kind

Cons

Not as transparent as could be, but a good team

Pros

Time and time again, when people ask me what it is about my job that I like and appreciate the most, I tell them - we hire and retain the greatest people! The stellar quality of employees we bring into our company is a true testament that PDG is a company where brilliant, kind, and hardworking people chose to work. And each person brings such awesome attributes to their role. We are a group of tenacious, unique, and conscientious folks who have a wide array of talents inside and outside of work. If you ask any one of us what we do after work many will say, "Well, I play an instrument, or I sing, or I play intramural sports, or I participate in triathlons and marathons..." It makes for a real and interesting work place and our clients seem to really appreciate us for these special skills, capabilities, and attributes too!

Cons

PDG is a growing company and some times when we re trying to do things better, to work smarter not harder with new ways of doing things, we end up with the same results. Overall, however, many of our new processes have helped to increase business and client satisfaction so if I have to name a Con, it still isn't bad to be trying new and better ways to stay aligned to technology and our clients needs!

Pros

On the first day on the job I met with both the president of the company and the managing partner of the company. Not only did I get to meet them, but I have also had the opportunity to have in depth conversations about my ideas and experiences since I've been working here. I've worked for another industry leading company, and I didn't have the chance to meet anyone past my director. PDG is dedicated to hiring the best of the best. I have total confidence with everyone I work with. The management at PDG also recognizes hard work. If you go above and beyond, they will reward you with more than just a pat on the back. They also like to promote within the company. In the six months I've been working for PDG, I've seen more than 5 people get a promotion. It's nice to know that there are options and room for growth in PDG.

Cons

Like any company, there are always room for improvements. My only con about PDG is that it currently is a little behind on using current technologies to improve training. However, management has recently taken steps to make sure that PDG is more innovative in the future.

Pros

I am so glad that I joined PDG. I really enjoy working here. This is a great company for anyone who wants to be challenged and developed. Our clients demand the best and we deliver. At times the pace is hectic. However, I feel like senior leadership appreciates and rewards us. Recently, we have started a "fun event" monthly. This month we hosted a chili cook-off in the office. It was a blast. Last month, it was a tail gating party that included cookout food and fun games. PDG is making a concentrated effort to engage their employees and make work a fun place.

Cons

Sometimes I think that PDG is too nice. We provide employees too many chances and too much time to improve. This is difficult for co-workers who pick up the slack.

Pros

Company has treated me like I am valued. I have received such positive feedback since starting here (within the past year). I'm calling this out because in my past experiences, many times you only hear from management when you are NOT doing something right. That has not been the case here. In addition, any question I've had, I get it answered and quickly. I'm a remote worker but always have access to my manager and my team. Benefits were very impressive, especially compared to my former employers'. They value work life balance as a whole. You can contact the president of the company with questions and suggestions and he'll actually listen! People genuinely want to do good work here, and overall the culture is positive and optimistic.

Cons

The company is growing, and with that come some growing pains - short staffing, contractor hires that haven't been vetted thoroughly enough. I know there's a pretty thorough action plan in place to address these things, so I am not too concerned about the future.

Pros

-PDG does a really good job of trying to keep employees connected who aren't local to the office. I love the weekly PDG wins email that Keith Forshew sends out- I think it is such a nice way for employees to feel like they are recognized by the company (and upper leadership, no less!). -PDG is small enough to feel personal. When I got married they sent me a wedding gift! It made me feel so appreciated that my company would do that for me because I doubt anyone would have even noticed at my last (very large) company. -PDG is small, but big enough to grow. I had been with PDG for less than a year and was promoted. Many others have been promoted on my immediate team as well. -Flexible hours if needed and the ability to work remote most days!

Cons

-Even though PDG leadership is very transparent about what is going on with the company and budgets, etc.. (which is great), it can still be hard to see where things are going at times because you aren't as exposed to the big picture in the day-to-day.
