Out of business for a reason - werkgeversreview Project Consultant bij Pro.com

Great company, good management, but a tough industry

Industry is tough, upstart culture

Pro’s culture is a great strength -- they are by no means perfect, but I really like the transparency and desire to do right by the customer, whether that’s a homeowner, subcontractor, or employee. They are in a growth phase right now so there are many opportunities for improvement and advancement. Some of the executive team and many of the engineers are originally from Amazon, so there are definitely some elements of Amazon culture (e.g. ownership), but for the most part I think they’ve done a good job of selectively adopting the positive parts of Amazon culture. The culture is very goal-driven, but also ensures that employees are treated well.

As a fast-growing startup, things can change rapidly and employees are expected to adapt quickly to changes. This can be stressful, but people with the right personalities (self-starter, growth mindset, mission-driven) can and do thrive here.
