The Predictive Index Reviews

The way our tools are used internally is unfair. It is used as a determining factor in many ways. We coach our partners and end users not to use it that way, when we use it exactly that way internally. Also, who you report to will define your success. A reason that you see so many positive reviews is very simple. You must do things like that to have a chance at any advancement and to keep your job. The videos, the LinkedIn posts, the reviews here on Glassdoor. It is all a way to show senior leadership that you are bought in 100%. Once there is any doubt, you are managed out. I have seen this countless times in many different ways. I have seen top notch people asked to leave or managed out simply because they are not outwardly infatuated with leadership and the direction of the company. Even if you believe in it, work hard and look upon leadership favorably, you must be an activist and a PI evangelist. You have to be outspoken, and take any opportunity to be very visible to have any chance at all. They claim to be open door and say that you can share your thoughts without any retaliation and it really is not the case. If you decide to try PI out, think about these points and make sure you understand it is all about image. If you are not willing to dive in and advocate on every level you will not make it long. It is all about conformity.

Company moves way too fast with no direction, tons of middle management who are not on the same page, severe favoritism, and they don't use their own tools and software on their own employees (besides the hiring process) - so do not expect to be managed based on your behavioral drives and needs. They say that working here is like 'drinking from a fire hose' and that they 'love to drink their own champagne'.. however, they don't tell you that the champagne is actually Kool-Aid and the fire hose is full of it. If you are not a 'yes person', 100% bought in and living and breathing PI every minute of every day, you will eventually have a target on your back. The culture in this company is nothing more than a rampant case of toxic positivity. I felt pressured on my first day to write a GlassDoor review, as I'm sure others have. I could never get a handle on what was expected of us at any given time, as everything was constantly changing and shifting, but management made sure to tell you when you weren't doing something right. Your behavioral profile means next to nothing working here, unless you are one of the more coveted patterns. They really want everyone to be a Maverick, so they make you stretch yourself so wide or so thin that you're a shell of your once low B, high C, etc self. And if you start to let your manager know that you're burnt out or being stretched too thin or overall struggling... well, your days are numbered. Where is your passion!!?!? Changes are made and rolled out seemingly the second someone comes up with a new idea. Asking for the details or challenging the idea is met with "something something transparency and business need" and you better hang on for the ride. PI is not the place for individual contributors. You will be expected to constantly be thinking of the next half baked idea or working on whatever side projects you were voluntold to do, despite having your own 'day job' that requires 40+ hours of work from you already. And those projects you were voluntold to do? The credit will be given publicly and solely to your manager for coming up with the idea.
