Cool location in heart of the city, opportunities to work on huge projects with lots of public visibility, and the company name looks great on the resume! They also have some really creative people on board.
Svantaggi
Everything else. I’ve heard that your experience is completely dependent on what department you fall in. There’s currently no PMO here, so if you come in as a project manager expect to face some serious challenges with both internal and external stakeholders. You have no support system and everyone just steam rolls over each other. You can’t put strategy or thought into anything because you’re stuck reacting to fires every day. From a PM perspective, the business is awful at following process - everything is a struggle and 10x more difficult than it needs to be. If you’re good at manipulating people and can deal with politics and cliques, this is the place for you. If you want to try to make things better and improve the business, don’t even bother. This is not a well oiled machine - just a hot mess that refuses to change.
