Probably the worst job I’ve ever had.

Pros

My paychecks were always deposited on time.

Cons

Too many to list. PE backed and solely focused on generating as many short term gains as possible. Frequent acquisitions keeps the balance sheet in check (and the huge cash bonuses rolling in for SLT and ELT members, who are the ones who orchestrate this s$&t show in the first place), but this company will eventually run out of competitors to swallow. Incompetent middle management level that is wildly out of sync. For those at the top, yes, there are a couple of really experienced people in C-Suite, but I never got the vibe that the CEO was one of them. Middle management is a joke, and acquisitions are so poorly handled and frequent that it has created an administrative nightmare to integrate and manage. Inexperienced folks are frequently hired/promoted, and add to the mess, mostly because they can’t find qualified hires/contractors fast enough to counter balance really bad attrition rates. Basically the worst job I’ve ever had, and I’ve had my fair share. If it’s not already apparent, any glowing reviews on here are either fake or prompted by management. Almost everyone I worked with at Precisely in Finance was miserable, and quit as soon as the labor market rebounded from COVID. Others stuck around through the summer, but eventually followed suit as well. Put it this way, people were quitting with nothing lined up for job prospects, that’s how bad this place is. I’ve never left a GD review before, but people need to be warned of this place. If you read this and still sign your offer letter, good luck, you’ll need it. Oh and if they tell you reviews like this are from disgruntled former employees, they’re not. It’s a tough labor market and they need to change the narrative created by honest reviews on platforms like GD. I quit, and only saw 1 or 2 people in 2 years terminated for cause. Nothing I’ve said in this review is out of spite, I’m simply trying to give others a heads up. This place is terrible.

Pros

There are 2 days a week I don't have to be there.

Cons

Where to begin...Systems and processes that have been out of date for decades. Tyrannical environment that leads to a culture of CYA rather than openly working together at an attempt to improve this failing company. Parent company that is in the dark and not effectively managing this asset. Management team that is skilled at using poor judgment and CEO that is in way over his head. They sloppily scramble to acquire companies that "improve" their revenue, and cover up their massive due diligence M&A failures with synergies (aka firings) of massive blocks of employees that are actually more skilled than the employees that they keep! Place is 100% broken.

Pros

There are some warm people around, including my direct line manager. Data is an interesting area to work in at the moment. If you do your job and keep quiet it's probably an easy place to be.

Cons

There are officers and soldiers. If you're not in the "gang", don't expect to have a say in anything, you're just infantry. The machine is built and there's no room to move. They just want to crank the handle faster and harder. It's a total hamster wheel, not a place to grow your career if you're into professional development. My experience was within marketing and I sense that the situation is perhaps different in other functions. However, not a place for marketing innovators.
