Not at all what it seemed - Project Manager Mirasee Employee Review

Hello! Glad to hear that you found the intellectually challenging and that you respected your peers. Happy to set up a meeting - feel free to email me. Your cons fall into 3 big categories: 1. Misleading job descriptions/scope of work/weekend work: We hire our project managers on a salaried basis and the scope of work is a bit fluid based on what work is available, what skills you bring to the table and what the project calls for. Our culture is entrepreneurial and collaborative. There are certain times during the year, during our big campaigns, that we are 'all hands on deck' from the CEO down. For the right people, this is fun and rewarding bonding experience that enables them to see things beyond the normal scope of their work. But I understand that this can be destabilizing depending on your personality. In terms of weekend work, the campaigns that our project managers manage run through the year so our project managers need to keep an eye on what's happening during the weekend. The goal is not for people to work more than they are contracted for and if that's happening on an ongoing basis, it's a resourcing or a training opportunity and we are happy to address both of these. 2. Compensation: I am not sure what the comparables you are looking at so I can't speak to specifics but I can share that we do stay on top of market dynamics when it comes to comp and adjust accordingly. 3. Time tracking: One of our values as a company is Openness and Transparency - we believe in sharing our thinking with the team and getting feedback on major initiatives before we implement them. One of the initiative that we are working on right now is getting more visibility on where our team's time is going so we can do better resource management and anticipate bottlenecks. It sounds like your issue was with the specific tool we were looking at for tracking time. I can understand why you would think that this tool is intrusive. After getting feedback from a few people on our team, we are researching how we can implement the tool so it's not intrusive and also looking at other options that fit our requirements. I also want to share that because we believe in openness and transparency, whatever tool/configuration our employees will end up using is the same tool/configuration that the owners will use as well. As owners, we also care about our privacy and our team's right to privacy so we are not going to implement anything that violates that. We have a very competent team (because otherwise they wouldn't be on the team), we respect our employees' perspective and believe in listening deeply to what they say and engaging in a productive dialogue. Again, feel free to email me if you would like to talk through this more -
