Pros
Portland Internetworks is a company with heart. The company truly cares about their employees as individuals, not just as cogs in the machine. They say that their people are their greatest asset, and you do feel like that's the case being here. People take the time to get to know each other on a personal level, which makes working here really fun and rewarding. The leadership team is thoughtful in the benefits and resources that are provided to employees, and in my experience, have always been open to suggestions or new ideas. All around, the folks here are really knowledgeable and happy to share that knowledge with others, so it's an excellent place to learn and hone your craft. Being a smaller company, people tend to "wear a lot of hats", but I personally enjoy that as it affords each person the opportunity to make a greater impact, and allows for a more wholistic understanding of the business. We do work hard, but the company does a good job of recognizing that and actively encourages employees to balance that hard work and engagement with self-care and personal time. If you put effort and heart into what you do, you'll be in great company.
Cons
You truly get out what you put in. A previous reviewer had said that if you're a lone wolf, this is probably not the gig for you, and I agree. If you're someone who gravitates toward a clock-in/clock-out 9-to-5, you may not see the value in the experience that PDX provides to employees. That said, if you're big on relationships and willing to go the extra mile once in a while, this is a great spot for you.
