I thought too good to be true

Pros

When I was applying, I looked on Glassdoor and saw that they had 5 stars by EVERYONE who worked there. I thought it was too good to be true, but I went through the process which was rigorous - and made sure that I was a good fit for Propeller and Propeller was a good fit for me. The people are great... they are focused on making our clients successful and having fun. Everyone works together and encourages each other. Since I've been here, I've had my input listened to, contributed ideas to our approach, and been very impressed by the commitment to transparency of the principals and associates alike.

Cons

Hmmm... Sometimes I get to the office earlier than anyone else and have to make the coffee (which happens to be delicious).

It takes a lot of work to stay focused on making this company great so people like you will want to work here, but it's well worth it! We hire great people and then find out once they start that they're even better than we thought, with more talent and capacity than we imagined after that long interview process. That's our job though; we find the people who are multipliers. Please let us know when you see ways we can improve. We're a small company with great ambition and we know it takes a team to succeed. Oh, and thanks for making coffee in the mornings!

Motivated & Connected

Pros

Being a newer firm everyone's input is valued and your work on internal initiatives will help set up the future for the firm. This gives you great motivation to be successful and you feel connected to those you are working with. Because of this the team is very close and actually enjoys hanging out for happy hour, lunch, sporting events, and such. The pay is good for Portland being a smaller market and coming from a big firm the local feel really makes it easier to have a work/life balance. Lots of firms say they are dedicated to this balance but Propeller is my first experience that actually does it.

Cons

Being a smaller newer firm there can be bumps along the way in communicating and onboading, however being able to help improve and guide these bumps definitely overrides the original issue. As there is a desire and recognition to improve.

Great point: we want to make sure everyone's input is valued, no matter how big we grow. After all, who is better to help us keep our company great than a talented group of business consultants? And to maintain long-term relationships with our people we'll continue to encourage balancing work-life and personal-life, too, hopefully making both great. We've grown quickly and the best way to stay a great company to work for and with is to remain humble about our ability to improve. Thanks for the review and please let us know if you see ways we can do better!

The best of both worlds!

Pros

This young, growing firm offers diverse challenges and development opportunities both client-facing and internally. The staff is similarly diverse, sharp and very personable. Most importantly, the management team is progressive-thinking - they truly value their people and focus on building sustainable, win-win client relationships.

Cons

Perhaps some people would prefer the cache of a larger, "brand name" firm, but there is also an entrepreneurial opportunity that you don't find at an established company.
