Pros

I met some life long friends at propio. We all left, and we are all recovering from this place.

Cons

8+ women have been unexpectedly fired or have quit in the last year. The CEO has openly said that women on maternity leave should not expect to have the same job when they return, This "Technology company" has had 4 CTOs and 3 Product managers in the last 2 years. Interpreters are not treated as an asset. In fact, they are expected to be grateful for the opportunity to work for such a "good" company. They pay well below standard rates for interpreters. The CEO sells a startup culture with none of the start-up benefits. Employee salary, and variable compensation, are not tied to the metrics of the company, but the whim of leadership. The company cuts many corners to save money. These areas include employee compensation, internal technology, privacy and security, employee benefits. Propio still uses Microsoft access and desktop quickbooks. The 401k that is provided is not a standard 401k offered at most companies. I am not exaggerating when I say they cut corners, they limit how many coffees you can have a day.

Toxic Leadership, Bad Business Decisions

Pros

Co-workers and the actual worker bees are amazing to work with.

Cons

The CEO acts like a child if he does not get his way. He does not care about making sound business decisions that will benefit clients, he only develops things that HE likes. He will actively lie to clients about available functionality. He will make large business decisions against the advice of qualified individuals then blame it on them when it turns out to be a $100,000 mistake. He fires anyone at the drop of the hat and constantly has a list of people that he wants fired. He gloats that he can do anyone's job in the company better than them. When he doesn't feel someone is performing at what HIS interpretation of the role is, he will call them into his office and degrade their very existence on this planet for an hour. He has anger management issues and makes hiring and firing decisions out of fits of rage. Honestly, he openly despises that he even needs any staff at all and cannot magically make things happen on his own. Associates are expected to do five other roles outside of the role they were hired for and then scolded and eventually fired when they're not able to do everything at once. The CEO will also keep a log of when every employee arrives at the office, what vehicle they drive, and when they depart for the day. He walks around the office at 6 pm every night and congratulates associates for putting the company before their home life. The expectation is that if you are not making personal sacrifices, you are not working hard enough for HIM. The misogyny and s*xism that occurs in this company is profound. All women are eventually demoted or fired. Women will often find themselves the only woman in the room and the men will make sure to laugh, scoff, and speak over women at any opportunity. Your voice will never be heard or valued.

Pros

Some amazing people to work with

Cons

High-stress, management mostly only talks to you if it's negative, CEO has to be handled with baby gloves by everybody. Average term of employment is six months. They're very willing to fire people with little warning or explanation.
