For the entire development team (including support and QA) there is very little trust from upper management, which is sad because most everyone takes a lot of pride in their work, especially the development team. Nobody likes making mistakes, and nobody makes them on purpose or to be lazy or because they don't care. They care a lot, and they take responsibility for what their working on and I wish that was communicated better. It's been said in multiple meetings that the CEO does not trust development, and I'm sure a GlassDoor review isn't going to change anything but the team leads in development are so dedicated to delivering their best effort it's remarkable that anyone would doubt them. There's a lot of challenges when it comes to the products development maintains, and every decision made by development was made by some of the most intelligent and hard working people I've ever met.
An earlier review likened employment to, "being told to have fun riding rides at gun point." I think that's an extremely accurate description of the cons relating to the culture. To sum it up everyone is forced to do the same things, what you like or dislike is of no concern. A lot of this comes from the "culture" which in case you didn't notice is in quotes denoting some irony, I'll explain. The four core values of the company are recited at daily meetings between team members, which is great, however these core values translate to very little day-to-day. Positive energy is the one that stands out the most to me, and if you've worked there you know why. I know on the billing side of things (which is treated far worse than the non-billing side) when someone upsets someone else (even if they just misconstrued what was being conveyed) a team holds a meeting to call someone out in front of everyone. In what way is that positive?
Everyone at PV matters, and everyone should be treated as such. Treating employees respectfully and communicating honestly with them will go a long way.
