Vantaggi
Working in the PM department at Teguar is one of the best professional decisions that I've ever made. I am very thankful that I was given an opportunity to join a passionate and cohesive team.
I find what we do to be interesting and rewarding. My job consists of vendor, customer, and interdepartmental communications coupled with hands-on testing and validation of our entire portfolio. I really enjoy what I have learned, applied, and continue to learn in the time I've been here.
I can’t say enough positive things about my coworkers. Everyone says they have a great team, but I genuinely feel surrounded by people I consider friends. Beyond that, I know I can trust and rely on them to see goals through to the finish line. They support me just as much as I try to support them.
It should also be noted how much I appreciate senior leadership. I have a great working relationship each departmental leader. I trust them and their visions; I appreciate their guidance and most of all I appreciate how much they respect what I have to say.
Starting pay is on the lower end of competitive, but certainly not poor. From what I understand, pay raises are very fair and come annually, with promotions, or with title/departmental changes where applicable. Professional growth is all but guaranteed. Quarterly bonuses are paid out via a revenue share model. It helps get the whole company to buy-in to the overall goal. There is a monthly stipend in lieu of proper health insurance, but it is a favorable amount that varies depending on the number of dependents you have. There are work from home days available for eligible positions. Snacks are always available.
Svantaggi
I believe some of the biggest organizational challenges stem from external frustrations. For example, when an issue arises, it can sometimes become an “all hands on deck” situation until it’s resolved, even when that level of urgency may not always be necessary.
At times, goals can also feel overly aspirational. There is a strong desire to pursue large-scale projects and changes, but the amount of labor required to execute them can sometimes outweigh the potential benefits. I do believe striving for growth and continuous improvement is important, but the pace and scale of some initiatives can feel overwhelming at times.
The health benefit structure does not work for everyone (stipend vs insurance.)
Lack of pay transparency.
