How is Pega Systems to work at? I have an offer in their professional services group but not familiar with the company culture and growth opportunities. Their Stock has been doing average and they are not a leader in their space. Is it even worth joining at a Director level? Also, what compensation package can I expect (base/bonus/stocks)?

Welcome any input to help me make the right decision.

  • Company culture is terrible. Engineers here are bottom of the barrel, a lot of staff and principal engineers dominate the engineering culture and refuse to do common things like writing tests or documenting features.

    Engineering side, product will dominate everything. Product only cares about pushing new features, not doing proper engineering.

    Our products are just terrible and confusing, we have to use everything internally and it just plain sucks. Very slow, breaks several times a week; no effort to fix anything.

    Engineering directors here feel like a normal engineering manager at other companies. Other roles feel two levels behind compared to their counter parts.

    Very top heavy approach to leadership, our CEO and CPO (Alan and Kerim) will literally change teams/orgs backlogs and road maps based on demos they want or just massive pivots. As a result everyone feels like they are running around with their heads cut off like chickens.

    There's no real vision here, we're just copying other successful products poorly.

  • It’s dying bc of Salesforce, but since you get a Director level position, I’d say why not take it. You can always move around at director level elsewhere.

  • As a customer, I rejected their product in favor of a competitor after some due diligence. Outsystems and several others are better products.

    What other offers do you have? There’s been a lot of people leaving lately.

      Most large companies I know have been seeing their fair share of churn. But hiring is up too! I asked this question on behalf of someone else
