Extremely fast-paced environment, not for everyone
Pros
Small company feel, so many long-timers and some amazing talents. Success of your project often depends on your relationships with folks on the manufacturing floor. Nice new office on Airport Blvd. So many in leadership roles were promoted from within. Powell has its own unique culture which is both pro & con. Some individuals in management are very progressive, others not so much. Some individuals are paid very well, but majority is not.
Cons
Extremely fast pace with poorly developed processes, extremely poor communication among teams; decisions made/discussions held in silos; as a PM be prepared to wear many hats since you will be doing it all! Everyone is stretched thin and extremely over-loaded. No ownership within various groups/management and no sense of responsibility or urgency for such a dynamic environment. Some in management are extremely set in their "old" ways and change is hard to implement. And don't expect any training as a new-hire, you will be learning the ropes by "fire-fighting". No work-life balance at all!
