Pros

3 years ago when I joined this company, I didn’t expect to get much responsibility so quickly, but within the first few weeks I was already working on tasks that actually mattered. That pushed me to learn faster than I had in previous roles. One thing I appreciated was that if you showed initiative, people were open to letting you take ownership instead of restricting you to a fixed scope. Over time, I was able to understand not just my role but how different pieces of work connected, which helped me grow a lot in terms of confidence and problem-solving. I’ve also had fairly transparent interactions with my managers, expectations and feedback are usually clear, which makes it easier to navigate work. Compared to what you hear about the job market right now, I do think it’s a positive that the company is still actively hiring and creating opportunities. Cultural events and internal activities are also done quite well and bring a good break from routine. There’s some level of flexibility in working hours and holidays.

Cons

The pace can fluctuate depending on priorities, so some phases feel more demanding than others. Planning can be more consistent, which would make workloads feel more predictable, especially during busier periods.

Pros

Phenom offers exceptional flexibility with unlimited PTO and minimal micromanagement. The benefits are top-tier, and the free food in the office is a great perk. Overall, it’s a very employee-friendly environment that values autonomy.

Cons

There is a significant lack of direction within the CV team, with constantly shifting priorities and inconsistent delivery cycles. Methods and tools change frequently, and data collection is manual and inconsistent, frustrating both clients and employees. Furthermore, there is a lack of knowledge sharing between teams, which exacerbates inefficiencies. Leadership also lacks a clear vision for the department’s future, and there is no intuitive framework to streamline processes or deliver value more efficiently, creating ongoing friction for the team.
