Talented coworkers hindered by misalignment and poor communication - Avaliação de funcionários no cargo de Product Owner na empresa CentralSquare Technologies

The Proposals Team is amazing. The manager and director are supportive, knowledgeable, and fair. The team is hard-working, skilled, and friendly. I will miss them! If you are worried about the other reviews about CentralSquare, the Proposals Department has been insulated from cuts (except for a part-time position), and they try to balance the workload for job security.

It is a very large company, so there are some silos between departments.

1. Direct team supported one another and worked well toward a common goal. 2. Unlimited PTO (with manager approval), and pretty good benefits. 3. Wonderful customers who are understanding and kind

1. The culture has sadly become more about the "me" instead of the "we". Each department is out for themselves as they fear layoffs or retribution from leadership. There is an expectation that everyone be positive and sell - sell - sell! They don't want solutions anymore, just blind followers. 2. Product gaps galore! Rather than fixing the known gaps and bringing systems up to date, they sign on partners. This raises the price significantly, and it means customers do not benefit from a true ERP system. 3. PA customers, at the annual event, left the opening keynote. Multiple times we heard that customers no longer believe CST is a PA focused company - every speaker and even the new branding, are all 100% PSJ. 3. Product changes directions constantly, completely ignoring how those changes affect professional services or sales. It's hard to sell something that was promised to the customers, only to find out that two months later all resources were pulled and put onto another product that is being resurrected from the dead. 4. The ELT has the expectation that everyone drink the Kool-Aid of false positivity, and sell that to our customers. The problem is, they aren't listening to their customers anymore. Support has been decimated in layoffs and those with long term product knowledge are gone. 5. Workloads vary person-to-person and department-to-department. Many find themselves, along with a select few in their department, carrying the majority of the workload while others do just enough to get by, yet they are paid the same. This doesn't really encourage go-getters. 6. Pay is significantly less than market and career growth is limited, and based more on who you know
