Review from Design Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
create more trust, avoid unclear messages and sudden changes in strategy
Review from Sales Dept
Recognise that all functions contribute to the bottom line, not just Sales. HR needs to have some accountability around the lack of morale and engagement.
Review from Business Development Dept
Get to know people who are not from the same background as you.
All of the good coworkers have moved on over the past 10 years. Pega is only able to hire people to warm seats.
Review from Engineering Dept
Need more focus on achieving objectives, and less political game-playing especially related to sales forecasts
Review from Business Development Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
How easy it is to find likeminded colleagues. The leadership and people team has worked hard to address unacceptable behaviours and are passionate about DEIB.
Stable work but good exposure to different technologies
work life balance, Health and Wellness Initiatives
One of the best places to work, open, honest, playful and enjoyable
Very supportive team structure that focuses on collaboration.
Review from Design Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
CEO (founder) needs to step down to let the company scale at pace. HR needs a complete overhaul and be PEOPLE instead of PROCESS focused.
Review from Business Development Dept
Culture is to set unrealistic goals (to make people stretch), celebrations are non-existent (no joy, just... what's next?)
Review from Product Dept
It's a strange blend of chaos and bureaucracy.
Review from Engineering Dept
Less negativity from the top.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Very thorough process with a variety of people.
Review from Design Dept
I had the chance to meet a wide variety of people, learn the software, and get an honest feel for the company culture
it was quick - met senior people - had a decision and offer quickly
It was a smooth process
immediate feedback with ratings given
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
I joined more than 5 years ago, am sure things have changed. I had people not showing up for meetings and best available was not very good.
Review from Product Dept
Tell people applying not to bother - all the jobs are going to India.
Review from Engineering Dept
My process (and I have heard similar stories from others) was a bit confrontational which took me by surprise. Not by management, but by HR/recruiting. There is a new VP of HR, (and the only woman in upper management), so hopefully that has changed.
Review from Marketing Dept
Recruiters don't give you a sense of what it will be like to work at Pega as a mid-career woman, at least (me).
Review from Product Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
My lovely colleagues and the ability to operate with autonomy
Meaningful Work, Supportive Team, Work-Life Balance
Being motivated to learn - share knowledge - work hard to be better. Being respected. Being supported. Laughing.
Review from Operations Dept
Knowing that the product i build is helping customers solve complex problems
Helping clients and/or helping someone at Pega close a sale
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I am not confident there are plans to improve what's going wrong in the near term
Review from Sales Dept
too much workload. tasks added which are not part of performance metrics yet no consideration given to decreased time to do the measured tasks.
Review from Customer Support Dept
Management is exploitative, and interactions between Product Management and Engineering are toxic and political.
Review from Engineering Dept
It's not that I don't look forward to going to work at Pega, I just don't look forward to going to work in general.
Review from Marketing Dept
What do you like best about your company?
The idea of quitting. Working at Pega was a mistake.
Review from Engineering Dept
Opportunity for career growth inside the company.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
Everything. Start by firing everyone who is a Director and above.
