Pros

Some of the concepts and templates are good. The CEO is charismatic and open to new ideas.

Cons

They have a small client base and if a project for which you were hired is cancelled, the chances are high that you’ll be out of a job. They’re too small to negotiate a discount with private medical insurance companies – my actual, out-of-pocket cost was the same whether I bought the coverage through them or privately You’re strongly encouraged to write positive reviews of their online classes which are reviewed by management before posting – as an employee, you are not going to risk making negative comments. Everything you do as a project manager must follow strict rules. During my weekly employee reviews, I was docked points for a missing comma or not enough spaces before a required dash.

I apologize for your experience. I believe that employers bear the greater responsibility for ensuring future team members are a good fit for the culture and capable of performing the job. When someone is hired that is not ultimately a good fit, they are sure to have a bad experience and end up in transition. This is one of the reasons we give 2 weeks’ severance with full benefits to all Team Members that are laid off, regardless of how long they have been with the company. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help with your search. Jason@120vc.com. For job seekers: I don't want to be too critical about the comments in the post above, but want to give you the necessary information to evaluate them. 120VC has more demand for their services than we can hire to fulfill. We are always hiring Senior Project Managers. Therefore, if a client were to cancel a Project, it would be very easy to transition a PM that is performing to another Project. This is always preferred to bringing someone in from the outside.

Pros

The Company and Leadership are amazing. They provide the employees with all the tools necessary to succeed in today's project management work environment. I highly recommend taking their TLP course (Transformational Leadership) as this will provide an amazing perspective how to put people over process and Get S*** Done.

Cons

I have now downside to report

Pros

120VC has the most amazing culture that I've ever had the privilege to be a part of. From a visionary CEO down through the ranks, everyone at the company is enthusiastic, positive, helpful and loves being a part of this company. I was drawn here by these core values that can be found at the company's website: We sincerely care about people and demonstrate this in our words, our actions and how we deliver We think like entrepreneurs, innovate and challenge the status quo to create substantial wins for our clients We believe that HOW we win defines us We do what we say we are going to do, we are accountable We find Win – Win scenarios; trade-offs sell our stakeholders short Our team members mistakes are safe with an obligation to share the lessons learned We create an environment where people are encouraged to BE authentic If we think someone is making a mistake, we have an obligation to voice it WE WALK THE TALK… So far I've found that these are not just random statements, this company actually means what they say and they practice it every day.

Cons

Nothing that I've seen so far. This company, while going through a bit of a transition from a sales perspective is doing it the right way.
