As much as I praised in my above comment, I have a lot to say here. And I really say these in the best interest that PowerPlan actually address and fix the issues as of 2021.
First of all, PowerPlan pay is fairly weak. At the end of the day, no job is about "family" or none of that corporate bs (and I'm sorry if THAT is your priority and not your real family). It's about the money. Part of the reason why we had a high turnover couple years ago is definitely and undeniably tied to the weak salary. I make 10-20% less than my peers in other consulting roles. It's a bit quizzical how we can charge a high premium to clients to have them raise their eyebrows but we end getting so little piece of that pie. The overall compensation package as a whole is decent though -- good amount of PTOs (if you can use it, lol), employee stock purchase program, 401k match, standard health, dental, and vision, etc.
Second, some parts of the company is seriously understaffed. It's a systemic issue where we keep shooting ourselves in the foot by selling more project and not having enough people to staff -- and by that I mean not enough people with enough experience to lead the projects to success. Understand that the roles here are VERY niche and takes years to master but it shouldn't take a miracle to hire few key roles to backfill in much needed areas. I assume and will continue to assume that number one reason we can't fill these roles are about weak pay.
Third, the people. Once you step into an interview round and you ask as an interviewee "what's your favorite thing about working at PowerPlan?" the interviewer will 9/10 say "the people". Ok --- so it's true that we have some great, talented people here but it's almost a farce at this point how much they drill the "people" factor. It's annoying and it ends up sounding like some corporate facade. In contrast, some people in the company are VERY cliquey and it actually hinders team synergies. Unless you are trying 110% to get to know people as a new employee, you will have hard time fitting in. Caveat is that a Diversity and Inclusion team has recently formed to fluff some life into the monochromatic office here but it'll take some time.
Fourth, the blurred line between Professional Services (implementation team that faces clients) and every other roles within the company. If you are seen as half-capable of knowing your module, you'll be tasked with every internal initiatives in addition to project work. And all your past projects' clients will email YOU for help instead of going to helpdesk. It's the classic scenario of "congrats on your promotion, here's more work". It's absolutely exhausting to carry all that workload and it's absolutely why PowerPlan will continue to lose people if not addressed.
