Pros

There are some good people at the company though many are leaving

Cons

project44 has the most dysfunctional and toxic work culture I have ever seen. It's the perfect storm of issues... *The company's success is built on a sales and marketing machine, but the sales team sells products that don't exist. This means product/eng are always playing catch up, putting out fires, and working on customer commits. *Leadership is as political as it gets. You go further rubbing elbows vs your quality of work. The culture has gotten worse in the past year after new senior leaders were brought in to run operations. The changes seemed good at first, but expensive meetings and poor new processes are doing real damage. The trend is clear in the Glassdoor reviews. *Team members are regularly berated in large company meetings. This kind of behavior led to high performers leaving. Executives are arrogant and make poor decisions for short term individual gain vs success of the company and customers. The execs that do care get sidelined. People joke openly about how toxic the work environment is and it's an open secret many will be leaving soon. The company stopped caring about its people a long time ago. They brought on questionable C-level leaders who look good on paper and perform well in meetings, but can't run tech companies. It's sad to see a company with this potential decline so much. I would not recommend working at project44 to anyone. I'll be putting in notice in the next month and I know many of my coworkers will too.

Pros

I guess having a job is good

Cons

Where to begin? I spend all my time working around technical debt. This company has the worst developer experience of any company in my entire career. Constant short term thinking leads to endless wasted time as we continually mortgage the future for a pitiful short-term gain.

Pros

Project44, oh boy, where do I start? This company, folks, has been nothing short of a financial rollercoaster ride. They've managed to achieve a remarkable feat in the world of tech – wasting almost a billion dollars in what can only be described as a spectacular display of financial mismanagement. It's like watching someone set fire to a pile of cash and then try to put it out with gasoline!

Cons

Let me share some insights about a company that seems to have it all – if "it all" means a cruel work environment, a product that's about as useful as a screen door on a submarine, systems that are garbage bins on steroids, and a board that's as elusive as Bigfoot. Welcome to the world of "Project44." Now, Project44, is the kind of place where you enter the office, and you immediately feel like you've stumbled into a scene from a dystopian workplace drama. The work environment is so cruel that even a prison warden might think it's a bit excessive. It's like they have a daily competition to see who can crush their employees' spirits the fastest. And let's talk about their product – or lack thereof. I've seen toasters with more functionality than what Project44 offers. It's like they threw a bunch of half-baked ideas into a blender and hit the "disappointment" button. Customers are left scratching their heads, wondering why they ever got involved with this mess. Now, their systems – if you can call them that – are the technological equivalent of a rusty old bicycle held together with duct tape. It's a wonder anything gets done at all. It's like trying to run a marathon with one leg tied to a tree. And then there's the board, or should I say, the shadowy figures who may or may not exist. There's no evidence of a functioning board here. But wait, there's a solution! Project44 has embraced the latest trend in corporate nonsense – yoga babble. Yes, you heard me right. When things are falling apart, just throw in some strategy workshops (aka an intro business class in high school) and hope that it magically fixes everything. So, my friends, if you ever find yourself tempted by the allure of Project44, I have one piece of advice for you: Run, don't walk, in the opposite direction. Because in the world of Project44, the only thing that's truly Rocketship like is the level of chaos and dysfunction. Namaste, indeed.
