Quirky company - Anonymous employee PowerPlan Employee Review

The company lacks a strategic vision and a coherent value proposition. They have a complex, niche accounting product that is impossible for anyone to explain concisely, so the "elevator pitch" takes about a half hour. Not surprisingly, it's been difficult for them to break into any industry outside of utilities. While there are a lot of product experts, there are almost no industry SMEs, so everyone talks in terms of features and functions rather than how the software can solve executive pain points. Too many managers and senior leaders started at PowerPlan right out of school, which has created an insular mindset that's pervasive throughout the organization.
