Vantaggi
Work/Life Balance: I have worked at quite a few agencies around the Philadelphia area for 10 years. During this time I've heard employers brag about work/life balance only to find out that I was expected to work after hours and pretty much be on call 24/7. Zivtech, on the other hand, is true to their word. I have been able to juggle my work and personal life with ease and I couldn't be happier with this aspect of Zivtech.
Culture: I'm a bit of an acquired taste and have my share of quirks and oddities. Throughout the years I have found myself having to hide these traits at various gigs, but Zivtech allows me to be me. I know that sounds corny and stale, but it really is a welcome relief to be my true self.
Team Members: Everyone at Zivtech is smart, passionate about the work they do, and willing to help a PM learn a bit while managing projects. No one has ever made me feel dumb for asking a particular question.
Svantaggi
Process: At times there are various processes which could be in flux or different between departments. This isn't uncommon in agency life, and its certainly something that I can work around, if needed.
Resourcing: This seems to be an issue with every agency. However, I feel that Zivtech puts too much of the problem-solving on the PMs. Don't get me wrong; PMs should always have a hand in resource management as it is a part of our job and we should have insight into who is doing what, but this was a bit more resource management than I was used to doing.
