Pluspunten
Many of the previous PROs are now gone after the acquisition with the new parent company (I will list these under Cons). Things still around that are good: - Work from Home - Independence & autonomy - Can work on new projects (when available) - Work on big projects vs just optimizing a button or checkout page for years - While leadership fails, they try to do what is right by all (though Yoda might not think this matters)
Minpunten
Where do I begin: - Run if you are a PM. No enterprise or true product companies will want you if you work here. A consulting PM here doesn't actually own a part of the product long term and learn real valuable PM skills. You are just building fast and then handing off. No optimization and fine tuning how to really acquire customers like a real product company wants - There is not great career development at all. You basically move into people management (without product line ownership) or account management. No true Sr product roles. - Your base is decent, but it ends there. No stock or good bonuses which makes a huge difference - Company is in turmoil right now. Lots of RIFs. Dry pipeline. - The moment your project ends you are basically fired. In the past you could be on the bench basically indefinitely and help contribute in other ways. Now it is a couple weeks or you're gone - It's remote policy is actually "Work from Home", not "Work Anywhere" - Managers are just bad. To be a manager at Formula, it is basically because your program got bigger. Managers lack experience. There is no mentorship (and even if there was, the sr folks just do/teach what works for them even if there are WAY better ways of working because they were never properly taught or mentored). There are no formal processes or best practices. It is very wild wild west and the loudest voice wins. - You only know the people on your immediate project. All community building events of the past are gone.
