Pros

The best "thing" about Propeller is the people, hands down. This is a group of incredibly intelligent, ambitious, and engaged professionals who thrive on helping make our clients successful, but who also take active roles in owning and shaping the culture and infrastructure of our fast-growing firm. Internally, our motto is that "people are our product", and the firm invests considerable time and resources towards employee training, development, and mentorship. To this end, we also devote serious time, effort, and scrutiny to our recruiting process to ensure that we bring on the right fit, even it means having to turn down work due to a shortage on the bench. Leadership is top-notch: savvy, conscientious, and humble. They follow-through, and genuinely care about us as individuals. Lastly, working here is a blast (again, the people). As cliche as it is, "work hard, play hard" is a reality here.

Cons

The firm has grown fast, with no plans to slow down any time soon. This can be unnerving for folks to need a lot of structure or who need to know exactly what their 5-year career trajectory looks like. If ambiguity makes you uncomfortable, this probably isn't the right place for you.

Pros

The leadership team is very open, honest, and authentic. The associates are trusted to act in the best interest of the company and of the clients. We are encouraged to participate in continuing education trainings that further develop our skill sets and increase our value to the clients.

Cons

The biggest challenge, which is also one of the most exciting parts, is managing the rapid growth of the company. However, I have full faith that the leadership team is on track to lead us to great things.

We like that word "authentic" and it came up at our company offsite in May. It's a tough one to define because it's so subjective so your feedback very valuable as we flesh out the meaning and continue to grow. Authenticity isn't reserved for leadership here; I'm constantly impressed by our team's authenticity. It's one of the things that sets us apart! If you think of ways we can improve as we grow, let us know!

Pros

Great coworkers, exciting/challenging projects and an opportunities to help grow the company all contribute to make Propeller a great place to work. Propeller's focus on doing the right thing - for employees and clients - gives me confidence that Propeller will continue to be a great place as it continues its extreme growth.

Cons

As a young, rapidly growing company prospective employees need to be comfortable with change, though that is a characteristic successful candidates would already have.

As one of our founders likes to say, we do good work. Good in terms of quality delivery and good in terms of the kind of people we are. We look out for and focus on the "other" -- our colleagues, the client, the company, and our community. Thanks for your vote of confidence; we'll do what we can to keep living up to it. And if you think of more that we can do to improve, now or as we grow, please let us know!
