Once great, now mediocre

Pros

Some great people work(ed) at Provoke who truly are amazing at what they do. Amazing technical solutions in the past but that is slowly being swallowed up by more "talk".

Cons

New CEO is taking the company on a "consultancy journey" that is doing nothing but ensuring high staff turnover, and that their replacements are nothing but "talk the talk but can't walk the walk" type people. If you like being in the spin zone with customers and never actually delivering anything of substance, Provoke may just work for you.

Hi, I am really sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience here recently leading to your decision to leave. I regret that we didn't get a chance to discuss this while you were here. I do not agree with your assessment of going on a "consultancy journey" being the core change. That is simply not the case. The change that we are trying to drive is to become more customer centric, which is the inclusion of strategy and planning, thought leadership, user experience, and engineering, to service our clients. More and more of our clients expect these out of their partners. For those clients who just seek engineering (or any other competency), we are happy to engage with them in that fashion and have continued to do so to this day. Once again, being customer centric. Engineering is at the heart of our value proposition. That has not and will not change. What we seek to do is bolster that value through great design, business strategy, and innovative thinking enabled by intelligence and learning technologies. If your belief is that "amazing technical solutions" are solely based on engineering in a vacuum, then you are right, Provoke is not the right place for you. All the best on your next adventure and thank you for the value you brought to Provoke while you were here!

Thanks for your feedback. As a previous employee noted, I hear and empathize with the pains that come with company growth. The leadership team is working hard to address this on all fronts, and we are taking a data driven approach to insure that we scale on the initiatives and investments that alleviate those pains. I understand it's difficult to be going through these pains, but please continue to provide feedback here, or to me directly, so we can continue to build a better Provoke!

Pros

Free drinks to keep the peasants happy.

Cons

Top down it's a an ego trip for Mason Pratt. His leadership is toxic and rewading only of the most maluable of sycophants.

Hi, as the current CEO here at Provoke, I am sorry that your experience here was clearly not great. While I wasn’t here to see or experience what your are describing, my hope is that you get some closure in knowing one of my top priorities is to reshape the culture to one focused on beliefs, not just behaviors. Central to our beliefs is becoming a fast growth company vs. a lifestyle company. Customer centricity is the core focus in attaining our growth ambitions, which in turn drives a set of behaviors from our employees. As the company grows and succeeds by helping our clients win, my job is to help our most important asset, our employees, win via expanded career and economic opportunities. While I’m not sure if you and I have actually met, I would very much welcome a live and open discussion so that I can get more details and clarifications to help improve Provoke for your former colleagues that I am sure you still care about. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Sincerely, Andy
