Pulsepoint Group Reviews

Pros

I have worked at PPG for 7+ years. It's a place that requires hard work and a lot of critical thinking, but I have been given opportunity beyond my wildest dreams. I was hired as entry-level associate and I am now in a leadership position. In an industry that is often dominated by men, PPG is a refreshing place that has created tremendous opportunity for women like me. We often promote from within and reward people who invest time in the company. Leadership here frequently seeks feedback and is committed to doing great client work while also enabling our people grow. Full disclosure: I'm now in a leadership role, so that this with a grain of salt.

Cons

We have been acquired, so we have more complex administrative and financial processes. We also strive to be innovative and that can sometimes mean that we swing and miss. But, I do think we are pretty good at "failing fast" when something isn't working.

Pros

If you want to work in consulting, this is an easy step in. Mentors can be helpful and useful when you ask questions about the industry. The first few weeks you send learning programs and tools (which is AMAZING). Free food every Thursday!

Cons

Can be a cliquey work environment, which leads to some members feeling out of the inner circle. The work can be very repetitive, with little to no room for new ideas or innovation. If you're a creative thinker, this is probably not the place for you. Seniority rules over everything.

Pros

Could be considered a good stepping stone. Great for white males or 'good 'ole boy' types. If you went to UT you have an in. Great business model for those at the top.

Cons

Not competitive / extremely low wages. Clearly male dominated and compensation does not reflect seniority or competency, rather gender. No culture. No values. Management that is out of touch and uninvolved. Unhealthy working environment.

Pros

Intelligent, cutting edge communications and business management executives.

Cons

No cons at this time.

Pros

Very flexible hours for current students, included in most (if not all) company events and parties, great mentors and supervisors, supervisors challenge you and offer their professional advice, genuinely care about your experience at the company

Cons

sometimes the work can get monotonous, but they allow you to work on other teams occasionally
