Pros

There are some really great people who work here, mostly at the lower levels of the company hierarchy. The product is very unique and the work is incredibly exciting.

Cons

I wish I had listened to the reviews more and I agree with many of the common themes here- heavy favoritism, inexperienced managers, questionable direction and decision-making. A few examples of the Proteus I have experienced: Promotions are based strictly on favoritism. Many of the highly technical leadership roles are filled by non-technical people who have zero experience in the area. This not only negatively impacts the company internally but it also impacts our ability to hire good people. It seems that incompetence is correlated with power. Company survey data is withheld when the reviews aren't what management wanted to see. In general there is very little transparency here. Secrets are everywhere. Layoffs occur about twice a year. Re-orgs occur at least twice a year. There are way too many managers (my guess would be 2.5:1 employees to managers). The managers are not contributors. In general, the company lacks trust and respect amongst employees, making Proteus a difficult place to work.

First I would like to apologize for my tardy reply. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am really sorry that your experience at Proteus does not meet our intention of being a great place to work. We value and consider all your feedback, and we'll continue to find ways to improve but I wanted to address a couple of your specific concerns here. We are improving communications, especially socializing results from employee satisfaction surveys. Equally important to communicating those results, we are working with each of our leaders to ensure that they are acknowledging and creating action plans based on employee feedback whenever possible. We are also continuously evaluating our performance management and recognition tools and processes. We encourage a culture of recognition through our company's rewards (e.g., QTL, Golden Boot, Spot Award, etc), and have revamped our performance review process to streamline while also ensuring that promotions are merit-based. To address your advice about reviews, we truly welcome all kinds of feedback, good or bad, as it is a way to address concerns and continue to improve our employee experience at Proteus.
