Pros

- coworkers are smart and friendly - Romanian management supportive and sympathetic - lots of growth opportunities if you land in the right project - some clients give equal control for product development and vision (i.e. client strategic partnership) - financial assistance for participation at tech conferences

Cons

- lost competitive edge some years ago, from boasting of being "employer of choice" to "employer of no choice" - constant turn-over, no desire/solution for retention of competent engineers resulting of a growing sea of mediocrity - some clients just want staff augmentation (you'll be despised by the client's Dev team and treated badly) - limited growth if you land in the wrong project - promotions are not based on merit but on billing for the client - US management and leadership competence is questionable, with dubious ideas (i.e. fluid workforce, war on free candy) - every year we get a new "CTO" who nobody knows what this person does

Thank you for your feedback. We are committed to making 3Pillar Global a place that fosters development and growth both for our employees and our clients. One of the things that drives this is becoming strategic partners for our clients. To achieve it we promote “product mindset” as a core component in our working culture. We realize that getting to the strategic stage is usually a journey. Not all client relationships are there yet, and we are highly appreciative of our teams for the continuous and consistent effort to get us there. Change has indeed been a strong tide in our decisions during the past years, whether these have been changes at management level, restructuring teams or the launch of new company strategies - they all have been designed to help navigate us through to the next stage in scaling our business. While we do gather from your feedback that sometimes this can look and feel inconsistent, this can teach us that we need to create more transparency, more iterative communication and more attention to individual heads up and reviews in terms of employee and company well-being. We would really appreciate it if you reached out so we can further discuss all the points addressed and tackle them directly, especially because you are still giving us the credit to work with us.
