Principal Financial Group reviews

Really large company hard to move up ladder to get promoted. In Des Moines and okay pay.

Very poor management , if you are coming from one of the top IT providers, you can clearly notice how poor the management, esp senior management. They don't have any skills or talent that you can learn from. They are in political groups and support old timers. No career growth. there are developers of 10 years experience and if you ask for growth you get answer like "if you want you leave, we dont have anything for you". Management is arrogant that they can pay and get resources whenever they want. The typical life span of an employee is 2 years beyond which you will find it difficult to work in PGS. Most of the senior employees are very poor technically and also in business area. If you are expectation is that PGS needs technical skills or great business skills, then you are wrong. All you need is a below average brain. Lots of unethical practice - which can't be commented here as glassdoor will anyway remove them, when I say unethical, it is really bad - even political organizations may not be that bad!! an interesting case is that the company is surrounded by malls and movie halls, so you will have many employees going out for breaks and returning late. This includes managers.
