Pros

Free Snacks and drinks for employees ,they probably spent 100 for whole office

Cons

Truly one of the most unapologetically and unorganized places I have ever had the misfortune to work at in all my years. I admit I ignored the Glassdoor reviews, thinking the new people were overreacting. I thought this would be a good learning experience and to learn new and fresh ideas. (Spoiler: you will do nothing but deal with inept ceo and PDM ). But every review that mentions high turnover, untrustworthy management, random layoff, they will layoff will you left and right. This company will tell you there are changes to address the past but we kept waiting and waiting to see when they will actually happen. Nothing changes except the constant new overseas faces brought in to replace the people who decided enough was enough and left or laying . The average new employee will last around 1-10 months(Cause they will layoff or fire you for no reason.Don't worry if people will leave anyway) The people who will be your managers are fully aware of this company's history and actively partake and contribute to the toxicity. Even lower mangers buy into this mentality. You think you can hide from P97's true nature, you think you can stay out of the way and just be a good employee and do the work that's asked of you, but you will never fully escape the harm this place does to you. You will eventually be roped into something despite your ethics. The high stress, long hours (8am-6pm), no sick days, no WFH, if you are work from home HR going to deduct your hours from PTO. No one deserves to go through that. All for a bag of Fritos and and underpaid salary at the end of the day. Could go on but should wrap this up. Some quick other points are: -No training for any role -No long term goal in sight -Competitors bought out with intentions of integrating them, but neglected and eventually lose those employees -Losing legacy employees -CEO inept ,he's trying his best to show off portfolio and sell -No long term system to develop or contribute to -Feedback? How did you let go your whole marketing team? Dev-Your dev team already under stress,you are replacing team with cheap labor ? QA - Over working ,mostly interns from College (According to higher it's cheap to hire interns -When they are contributing like Full time employee) DevOps- Few team member Offshore-Cheap Offshore isn't always the option Over hired ?I hope you are joking ,all of your team struggling

A few points of clarification to the comments above. P97 has a hybrid work model which includes designated office and remote days. We value the increased collaboration during our office days paired with the flexibility of working remote. Any approved request to Work from Home during a designated office day is not deducted from your Paid Time Off (PTO) accrual. With respect to sick time, P97 elected to have one bank of PTO in lieu of having separate PTO and Sick Time allotments to allow employees to use their PTO in the manner that fits them based. P97 has separate PTO and Sick Time allotments for those employees working in states with mandatory paid sick leave legislation. Additionally, our retention rate for our new team members hired in 2022 is approximately 75%. Again, thank you for your feedback and please reach out to your Manager or Human Resources with any questions regarding benefits or policies.

Pros

-Resume Builder -Low Stakes mistakes

Cons

-Too much is expected from you -you have duties far beyond your title and pay -Your role is never clearly defined -No organization in the process, Every year there is a change of work and organizational structure, The company cannot stick to one thing or figure out the new things that management tries, then youre stuck in the middle of it with changing and expanding responsabilities because they want to cut people to cut every corner possible. -No growth,
