Pega HR sees its employees as liabilities. Those who go to them are quickly put onto a PIP and eventually removed.

What company outings? The prevailing attitude is that you're there to work.

Technically I suppose so. It seems to only happen when the manager decides you are threatening to their image, and transfers you away to a lower quality job in an effort to make you quit.
What kinds of community outreach does Pegasystems participate in?

Technically there is a 30/60/90 day checkin program, but managers don't actually follow it.

It doesn't provide any. As one of my peers found out, the company aggressively worked to reduce their salary when they moved to a cheaper area to take care of their family, and badmouthed them for making that life choice.
What is the company mobility like at Pegasystems?
There isn't any. Only the incompetent are promoted, while the skilled are ground up until they quit.

I'm not at all. I'm only here to collect a paycheck and support my family while looking for a better job.
