      Program Management Experience – Poor

      Technical program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits are good, especially the leave policy and health insurance.

      Cons

      At times the environment can feel influenced by internal dynamics and informal relationships, which may impact how decisions and feedback are perceived across teams. This can create situations where accountability is not always evenly distributed and individual contributors may carry a disproportionate share of delivery pressure. Program managers also manage complex cross-team initiatives, and frequent shifts in priorities can make planning and execution challenging. No support from Security Directors or leadership they don't even interact L1, L2 folks

      Micromanaging nightmare over the last few years

      Technical program manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      NA, can't think of anything positive anymore. It's a micromanaging mess.

      Cons

      Guidewire makes majors shift every 2 years and the last one to take PgM out of PD into its own department is a micromanaging nightmare. We have more status meetings and spreadsheets to update than time to do any work anymore. 3 places to update if I want to take PTO. 7am and 7pm meetings are now the norm. 6 bosses in 10 years, no one can make up their mind on the direction of the company, projects start and are abandoned constantly.
