- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great, collaborative team. You can learn a ton of working on divergent projects for various clients. Clients are also good and approachable. Leadership at Productive Edge is down to earth and their doors are always open for all employees.
Cons
Office space can be better, but besides that I can't think of anything else.

Pros
Competent and cooperative coworkers Leadership is willing to listen/talk when needed Monthly and quarterly meetings give transparency to company trajectory
Cons
Path to career advancement could be clearer
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Talented people, good workplace, nice benefits.
Cons
Sometimes lack of communication within team.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
For context: I have worked at two other companies with this position taking part in software dev teams. Benefits are good! The work load here is not too much when compared to other places of work and managers encourage good work/life balance. An individual will typically be one team and that team will work on a single product with one group of stake holders. The office culture is great here, people are friendly and the office sporting competitions are fun. Upper management is approachable and capable Has a really good SDLC in place that makes work
Cons
If you are familiar with working in IT in corporate, then you know things typically move at a slower pace than say at consulting (technologically speaking). So the technology and the projects you work on aren't too exciting, that's par for the course. Pay is not the highest here Seems to be a lot of favoritism when looking to move up Don't usually promote from within

Pros
Quality culture and enjoy coworkers
Cons
Smaller teams and sometimes can be put in a position where it's difficult to learn from senior devs., sometimes uninteresting work
- Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Great environment—people work collaboratively and are genuinely interested in the work you’re doing and your personal wellbeing. Great opportunities to work alongside some very smart people and push the limits of emerging technologies. Leadership works hard to maintain a relatively flat organization, providing employees with a lot of autonomy. Great work/life balance.
Cons
Tasks can sometimes be ambiguous and there are not always clear procedures, but this also provides an opportunity to establish your own approach.

Pros
My job is dynamic with a lot of responsibilities and different projects to do, which keeps work interesting. Flexible work environment with understanding management if you need to work from home or adjust work schedule. You are treated as a person not a dollar sign. Open floor plans, company online chats, and well stocked snacks/beer fridge keep employees collaborating and engaged on a daily basis. Very active social and charity committees. Executive team holds quarterly all-hands meetings to discuss state of company (finances/bonuses), special team projects/accomplishments, new employees and anything else relevant. I like this transparency. Management holds internal anonymous employee surveys and listens to employee feedback to improve. Everyone here is smart and humble and easy to work with, which is rare. Much more a collaborative vs competitive environment to grow.
Cons
Big drinking culture, would be nice to have more inclusive events not always centered on that. Company is in a growth spurt so can get hectic with new clients and new employees, but that's the cost of expansion so not necessarily a negative. If you don't like change this wouldn't be the right fit. As others have said, no 401k match is a con. The other benefits seem fine to me. As others have mentioned, bonus/raise policies are a bit unclear.

Pros
Great atmosphere with no drama... people are genuinely here to grow in their profession and become stronger players in the tech world. Dynamic social and PE Cares initiatives, at least once a week there is a way to get out of the normal work setting and have some fun or to help out a cause with a group of coworkers. Management is also sincere about taking employee feedback seriously and making improvements where needed. Also doesn't hurt to have a rotation of the best Chicago craft brews on tap ready to go in the kitchen!
Cons
Not many cons, management does a good job listening to employee feedback and making adjustments when improvements are needed.

Pros
Great culture and work environment. Open loft-style office surrounded by smart minds that allows for frequent knowledge and idea sharing. PE expects consultants to quickly take ownership of their projects upon joining, allowing for rapid integration into the company and work. Many opportunities to socialize with team members through happy hours, weekly social activities and volunteer events.
Cons
With PE's rapid growth, hoping to seeing more enthusiasm from leadership in investing in existing employees and promoting from within along with the push for recruiting outside talent.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
People work hard for a common goal. Leadership is transparent. And the benefits are really good. Productive Edge is a great place to learn new skills and grow your career
Cons
Things are very fast paced and there are a lot of changes. Part of this is due to the industries served. You have to be on your toes and ready to adapt.
