Vantaggi

*There a some super smart and friendly people working at PFG that make the work experience fantastic. *Some interesting work if you can get into the right department/project.

Svantaggi

*New software engineering employee on-boarding is awful across several departments/projects. *The tech debt is MASSIVE. *Your job satisfaction and opportunities to grow as an engineer are very dependent on the department your in, the team your on, your lead and your manager. *The work culture they promote is pretty much smoke and mirrors. *Salaries and benefit were shrinking while their profit were hitting all time highs. *There were some super smart and helpful engineers that want to see you succeed but there were also some that were smug, arrogant and seem to make working with them intentionally unbearable.

Vantaggi

Decent work life balance and benefits. Principal offers a pension which is unheard of in today’s age.

Svantaggi

Pay is below average and Principal does not offer inflation raises. Once you hit the midpoint of your salary, you will get a 0% raise until you’re promoted, which will take multiple years regardless of performance. Performance reviews are vague and often used against employees to avoid promotions. At least in my department, I’ve yet to see any of the remote workers be promoted. This is starting to affect attrition and we’re already starting to see people leaving. It’s well known at this point that the best way to get promoted is to leave Principal and get rehired, which even leadership has stated publicly. This is a huge frustration and blow to morale, as it starts to feel like employees need to compete against their co-workers for raises.
