Pros

Great flexibility, great supervisors, co-workers are young, and fun, but very knowledgeable and not immature. New Employee Orientation is so helpful! The facetime with your supervisors and coworkers is priceless those first few days. They really do try to make everyone feel a part of the company even if they are never in the office. Great culture.

Cons

Clients can be pretty demanding sometimes, so it's imperative that you speak up and communicate with your Project Manager or direct Manager about any issues you're having. Benefits could be a bit better.

Pros

- Projects are fun, innovative, challenging, and collaborative. - Team is the best and brightest in a lot of areas. - Great team atmosphere - Great relationship with our partner organizations - Innovation is a key value and component of the TPG lifestyle, and innovation is celebrated and encouraged among all - Family-feel atmosphere encourages you to work hard, but is also there for you when you need them - A lot of work has been done to hone in what services TPG should offer. this has helped tremendously in terms of ensuring we are able to deliver the best quality to clients. - management does a good job of managing the individual instead of applying blanket management style - lots of opportunity to gain new skills and certifications

Cons

- benefits aren't quite competitive. while salaries are good, the rest of the package isn't quite there. family leave, high insurance deductibles, vacation policy, etc. - not a lot of room to advance - functional teams are very siloed at times - consultants are sometimes spread thin because of overselling/over promising and under staffing

Thank you for taking the time to provide your input! We are so happy you value the challenging work, the team collaboration, the innovation and the opportunities to grow. We have worked hard to improve benefits over the past few years, including increasing the matching rates every year for the last 3 years. This has ensured that no employee has had to pay any more out of pocket for the last 3 years, while still having access to high quality healthcare for their families. We now provide 8 weeks of maternity and 3 weeks of paternity leave. We offer all new employees 6 weeks of paid time off per year (2 weeks of PTO, 2 weeks of company shut down, and 2 weeks of federal holidays and TPG holidays). We also have generous sick and personal time along with 2 paid days of charity each year. Employees that are here for 3+ years gain 1 additional week and employees with over 5 years get 2 additional weeks for a total of 8 weeks off per year! We have promoted so many people over the past few years and almost always from within. There are incredible advancement opportunities and we provide a clear career rubric for everyone to follow. Promotion is based on competency mastery, not time. Again, thank you for being such a valued employee and we appreciate all that you do!

ITS A MADHOUSE! PURE CHAOS!!!

Pros

a few nice people to work with. $200 stipend to work with on cell phone, internet and home office (but really this is to offset the expensive benefits they "offer". work is remote.

Cons

Pay seems fair until you realize they get you in the door at a salary for a marketing firm but its actually a consulting firm... Also its a madhouse. It is a constant fire trying to be put out. It really is a frustrating and terribly chaotic place to work. You have a ton of relatives who work at the company. Daughters of partners that would can't really argue with or do your job. The culture is pretty bad. Upper management is overly involved in all that is going on. They sit in on meetings and taker them over and yell at people who are doing it their way. At first, it seems relaxed but really it is a lot of micromanaging from upper management It is impossible to get your work done for this company. They also might have you report to more than one person which really makes the job even harder. You will have more than one person telling you to do it more than one-way... it is very annoying. The benefits are awful... unaffordable and expensive. As for training they literally have next to nothing to train you on. They will just throw you into the hot mess they have already created and expect you to be able to perform well. They will tell you little to no travel but really they will travel you to death. The PTO is pretty bad too. 10 days a year… that’s it. I would not recommend anyone to work here… There are way better options out there.

We are going into our 12th year of business and are having our best year yet. 2/3 of our employees have been with us for 3 years or more, and 70% of our business comes from existing customers. We have less than 5% voluntary turnover each year and involuntary turnover is 3%. We have a very stable, strong and healthy company. Our benefits are broad and encompassing. We offer health care, dental, life, short term and long-term disability, 401K. PTO is 4 weeks per year, not 2 for all starting employees. In addition to this, our remote and flexible work environment is a major benefit. Employees can choose their own hours and manage their work/life rhythm to meet their needs. Our salaries are top of market - we pay on average 20% higher than all of our competitors. We provide ongoing and continuous training for skills as well as professional training. In the last year alone we have invested over $150,000 in training our employees, including professional skills such as communication and consulting. We have a thorough 1st year training program with an intensive 90 day on-boarding program for all new employees to prepare them for the job, assign mentors and provide continuous reinforcement. As a consulting firm, our employees work on multiple projects so will have different project managers and different employees to interact with on a daily basis - that is the job. But everyone has one direct manager that they report to. No employee travels more than 20% per year and the vast majority travel under 10%. Out of 65 employees, we do employ 3 relatives, one of which is a manager, having worked her way up from the bottom like everyone else. She was also voted as employee of the year by her peers - she earned it.

We have a very stable and mature company. We are heading into our 11th year of business and are completing our most successful year financially. For a smaller company, we offer very competitive benefits including choice of HMO and PPO, 401K and 4 weeks of PTO for new employees, combined with the most flexible work environment anywhere. Integrity is one of our core values and we always meet our commitments to our employees and to our customers. We would never mock anyone.

Best Company EVER

Pros

100% Remote Work Supportive and transparent Culture I read the reviews on Glassdoor during the interview process and I thought to myself the cons were pretty typical so I was not deterred. Upon being hired much to my shock and delight management had taken tangible steps to address every single con on the list; I have NEVER seen that before. We are a match made in heaven!

Cons

Smaller company so you work 10 hour days to meet job/company productivity goals but management tries to be flexible when you have appointments during work day The health benefits are quite expensive but that is pretty much true for any smaller company

Best company I've worked for

Pros

• In most cases, employees work from home which allows for flexible hours and a better work and home life balance. • TPG is full of incredibly smart individuals always willing to assist or teach you new skills. • TPG is transparent with their goals. • There is a lot of opportunity to grow professionally via certifications and on going education. • TPG is supportive of employees who wish to learn other areas of the business. Those who might want to explore other roles within different departments are given paths to do so. • The people who work at TPG are great! TPG has done an excellent job hiring the best of the best and in many cases work feels more like a family environment. You will never feel like a number working here. • TPG challenges their employees to grow making it near impossible to feel complacent in your role.

Cons

• Benefits are lacking. Leadership is well aware of this and is actively working to improve benefits.

Pros

Fully remote workplace Ample benefits, training, and career growth Supportive teammates and leadership Competitive salary Challenging and engaging client work Projects that really help clients grow their business

Cons

It can be challenging sometimes to work 100% remotely. It's important to break up your day with self-care like exercise.

Thank you for taking the time to share! We have been 100% remote for over 15 years and have learned how to maximize that in our culture, but we do cherish the times we get to see each other in person, from team get togethers, to our charity events to our annual company meetings. We work hard at reinforcing our culture by discussing key behaviors in our internal meetings, a different one each week. We are so grateful you are enjoying your time with TPG and thank you for recommending us!
