Great colleagues and learning opportunities, but limited advancement - Program Manager Purple Strategies Employee Review

Purple is full of smart, supportive, and motivated colleagues who push each other to do great work. The firm offers opportunities to work with well-known brands and on interesting, high-impact issues across industries. Employees are trusted to own their work, with little micromanagement and a strong focus on outcomes. There is also significant opportunity to grow beyond your title, learn new skills, and contribute wherever you can add value.

The environment is best suited for self-motivated people who are comfortable taking initiative. Those who are willing to raise their hand, ask questions, and jump into new work outside of the comfort zone will generally get the most out of the experience.

- senior heavy firm means direct access to how leadership is thinking through a client problem – leaders are excited to talk through ideas and pressure test against junior employee perspectives - work is high level and deals with many environmental forces shaping day to day life which is interesting to learn about and work on - good mix of long-term and short-term projects keeps things interesting and lets you build - flexible management treats employees with respect

- experiences vary client to client and is very dependent on who is leading the team and how skilled they are at team management - nature of the business and clients can mean whiplash as environmental contexts change quickly - have to be really, really intentional about asking for questions, doing research on your own, and asking for explicit feedback to ensure you are learning the right lessons given the complexity of the work and how quickly leadership is moving
