Principal Financial Group reviews

Low pay for industry, benefits seem to be getting worse all the time

1. Very less room to grow, initial 1 year you get to learn but then its the same stuff. 2. Managers are biased towards some people, it you are in good books of the managers u will move up the ladder otherwise u will be stuck. This is the case with lateral joiners 3. there is no relation between your performance and promotions. 4. 1:1 discussions are so frustrating, if the manager don't get any point to highlight ur shortcomings they will stick some illogical trait of yours as a shortcoming even if it does not negatively impact your work. 5. the experience criteria for a position applies only to laterals and not to trainees. You will find a trainee with 4 yrs work ex as a lead and a lateral will 9 yrs work exp as a lead even though the lateral has a good working capability. 6. Worst part - some people are in the company to settle , and you will be constantly be compared with a fellow colleague who has been in the organisation for a long time. i have never seen such comparisons anywhere. 7. Lots of focus on innovation and very less attention is being paid to business deliveries, if u are not involved in any activity apart from your day to day delivery , according to them u are not working at all, even if u are doing wonders at the delivery side of things.
