Propeller reviews

- drinking and socializing is the most straightforward way to get promoted - lack of work/life balance: work weeks are expected to be 43 hours on average. not counting additional internal work you are doing - and everyone does some internal work. - lack of objective promotion criteria. we all think we are judged on the same competency matrix but not all performance managers adhere to that structure or make it explicit outside of annual review time. - the pay is terrible when you compare it to our competitors. you can work harder for more bonus $$ but your salary will barely increase annually. - clients not diverse enough, feels like we are just staff augmentation for a few big clients - no HR department or escalation for internal issues or questions - LT not professional - talking about other consultants publicly

I'm leaving this review as a warning: they just swapped one ineffective lame duck CEO (wow congrats on multiple layoff periods in one year!) for a way way worse one who couldn't lead his way out of a wet paper bag (nice job promoting unqualified people into SLT that caused chaos and turmoil!) All you really need to know is that people, especially men, continuously stumble and fail into better titles with more money here. It doesn't matter how hard you work or how good your work is. If you're not best friends with a senior director or managing director or C-title, you'll likely get told you're the problem before getting cut in another batch of layoffs one day without any warning. I think the grossest part is that they act really nice and say a lot of feelgood buzzwords but then you see the mess of leadership and the passive aggressiveness and it's just gross. There ARE good people here, but not enough to make up for the loudest egomaniacs partying at the top. They don't care so long as they get to take their extended trips while someone else does their work.
