Interesting products; terrible management - Anonymous employee ProQuest Employee Review

The place is super flexible and everyone I ever met there seems great to work with. Ok I can think of two exceptions, but that was a big building. The meetings were the least painful meetings I have ever had to attend.

The pay could have been better. The structure was constantly changing but I think I happened to be there at a bad time as far as restructuring.

Decent work life balance, great coworkers

Little room for advancement - 1 actual promotion and 2 “lateral” promotions in 10 years despite consistent exemplary, goal-exceeding performance and increased responsibilities. Ultimately my loyalty was rewarded by being informed that the following quarter there would be a surprise transfer to move me to another team in a specialist role that “was not open to discussion.” After weeks of trying to get answers as to the expectations and success metrics for this (alleged) new role, I was laid off as part of a “restructuring” - supposedly because I “lacked seniority” in the “new role” I’d been forced to take.
