Pros

Free snacks in the office. You truly learn how to play the game in order to survive a toxic, faux friendly work environment. Many people stay because as long as you keep your head down and keep on producing work and make profit for them, you will be in the clear.

Cons

There are simply no growth opportunities its junior & mid-senior employees, and this is purposely done by design. Managers are known to play the favorites game based on demographics and popularity, and expect employees to work around the clock for little pay and little to no acknowledgement. In terms of compensation, the total compensation and bonus structure is fairly low compared to the size of the company and other companies in the industry. I have also seen so many employees that were unfairly laid off due to the negative political nature of the firm. I have witnessed many senior leaders that have also bullied and poorly treated junior members of the team for no reason and even when HR was notified, they turned a blind eye and didn't do enough to solve the situation due to the senior leader's position, tenure, and overall performance within the firm. Situations like these cause teams to not be able to trust their own colleagues and more importantly, employees are unable to fully trust the leadership that is in place. In addition, the WFH policy is abused by senior level managers. The WFH policy is vague on purpose and this has caused poor communication and confusion across teams. It seems as if some people can WFH whenever they please while some cannot, and there is no valid reason for how this works. Besides all the reasons above, I left the company due to the hypocritical nature of the company's leadership. You can never fully trust anyone there and it's definitely a sink or swim kind of environment. The company prides itself for being "diverse", and yet there is definitely a cookie cutter mold of the typical "Prologis" employee. If you don't fit the mold, you will definitely be outcasted and will not receive the same opportunities as someone who fits the mold of the group.

Prologis Response

I'm sorry your experience with us was so negative. While I will try to address some of your comments here, please feel free to reach out to me directly. As you mentioned, we do conduct an anonymous employee engagement survey—and it’s worth noting that no leader or employee has access to who said what. The survey is two years old and began as a measurement to evolve the culture by capturing feedback from all levels and responding with actions tied to our company KPIs. If you feel you were reprimanded for speaking up during the survey and/or answering truthfully, again, please reach out to me directly. Our teams have been working hard to create more growth opportunities for our junior- to mid-level employees over the past three years. It's definitely a work in progress to make sure there is support for growing careers but we have had some big wins already. However, it is a marathon and there is room to improve. This is why we've begun working on programs to support this employee population better. Also, we just started working on a more formalized WFH policy—I would love to understand where the WFH incident you mention occurred. Finally, in support of creating an inclusive environment, we have zero-tolerance for inappropriate behavior! When notified, we take swift action in identifying the issues and working through them, including termination in some cases. Again, please feel free to reach out to me directly as I would be love to hear more feedback from you and sincerely appreciate your time spent with us.

Pros

This company has a fantastic leadership team that really cares about growing a strong, agile and innovative company that people want to work at. That culture trickles down throughout the company and really permeates throughout teams. One thing I think that is especially important now is how innovative this company is. Its investing in the AI tools and education employees need to do work better and smarter.

Cons

The company is quite lean (only ~2,700 employees across 20 countries) so team structures are relatively flat meaning promotions don't happen as frequent as some other companies, BUT responsibilities and compensation are looked at every year for sure so the title upgrade isn't really a big deal - you're growing YoY regardless.

Pros

Prologis has a collaborative and entrepreneurial culture where teamwork and creativity are genuinely encouraged. Employees are trusted to take ownership, contribute ideas, and work across teams to solve complex challenges. The work is dynamic and engaging, and there are opportunities to learn from talented colleagues across many parts of the business. Leadership promotes a strong culture of partnership, and the company continues to invest in both innovation and employee development.

Cons

The pace can be demanding, and the workload is often significant given the scale and complexity of the business. Many projects require coordination and alignment across multiple stakeholders, which can sometimes slow decision-making and require patience and persistence. There is not always a one-size-fits-all solution, so employees need to be adaptable and comfortable navigating ambiguity and collaboration.
