Pros

There are / were some great people at Proxima, but due to multiple rounds of layoffs, most have left or are in the process of leaving. Proxima has become a place where I'm no longer proud to work and am current planning my exit

Cons

Following multiple rounds of layoffs, Proxima has become a horrible place to work. There is a huge mistrust of management due to their recent cowardly actions and poor decision making (just check out the recent reviews)

Pros

Great front line delivery people

Cons

Senior management is a joke and that is being kind. They have no clue how to run a business or treat people. The amount of loyal employees they screwed over is out of this world.

In Spanish, Proxima means "next", as in "next company, please"

Pros

Becoming an expert in doublethink at a level that would make Mr. Orwell proud; examples are plenty and below is a selection of the finer ones: - the management cares deeply about the wellbeing of its workforce, except when it comes to paying them competitively, reducing the hours they have to work on understaffed accounts, or creating a safe working environment by encouraging all employees to vaccinate against covid (in line with CDC & WH guidance) - the best way to grow a company is by forcing its workforce - whether the run-of-the-mill middle management types or capable loyalists who in all likelihood would have retired as Proximites - to leave (refer to other reviews for posts that have much more vividly captured the utter disgust people have felt about the furloughs) - the management is allegedly one of the most transparent in consulting, yet there's very little visibility into important topics such as performance evaluations (better work = smaller pay rise), profit share (record profit year didn't result in record bonus year), or sales outlook communications (poor mgmt decisions causing enough employees to leave to the extent you can't even staff projects became "we are sold out")

Cons

mostly see Pros, but also ad hoc and comically wtf moments like WITHDRAWING money from employees' bank accounts on pay days OR suggesting to employees who have just resigned for greener pastures to take a contract position to cover for the gap they just left behind OR openly asking employees during company forums to post "positive" review here in an futile attempt to drown out the factual ones...
