Pros

The opportunity to get out and use your expertise in different industries is rare. It stretches your skill set and gives you the chance to learn about business sectors that are often tough to break into. Propeller is in many of the interesting fields in the Portland market: tech, apparel, energy, healthcare. The client diversity is exciting. The team is fun, smart and merges play and work as much as possible.

Cons

If you require predefined structure, hierarchy, a map of your 25-year career path, and grandiose titles that grow along said career path...this is not the place for you. If you always wanted to be a ________ (fill in the blank) since you were a kid, unless "consultant" or "problem-solver" or "ah-ha! generator" was the answer...this is not the place for you. Propeller thrives in the ambiguous transition spaces where most businesses struggle. This job does not come with an instruction manual. If that sounds exciting...this is the place for you.

Wow, you put that very well! It's true that we live in an ambiguous world. Often, we're hired to be agents of clarity or bring order to chaos. Thanks for the kudos on transparency and communication; we'll work to keep that strong. If you think of anything else, please let us know!
