Pros
I worked at Palladium for several years and, during that time, I had the pleasure of working alongside some of the most amazingly smart, dedicated, and motivated colleagues of my career. I am still friends with several of them and speak to them nearly daily.
Cons
The management at Palladium is nearly indescribably bad. Petty. Psychotically stupid. So ill-equipped for their jobs that if half of them were to disappear, improvement would still be impossible because the remaining half would work twice as hard at being viciously incompetent. They reminded me of the following joke: “A policeman sees a drunk man searching for something under a streetlight and asks what the drunk has lost. He says he lost his keys and they both look under the streetlight together. After a few minutes the policeman asks if he is sure he lost them here, and the drunk replies, no, and that he lost them in the park. The policeman asks why he is searching here, and the drunk replies, "this is where the light is" Management is not interested in finding solutions to actual problems but would rather endlessly review non pertinent pieces of information. Couple this lack of leadership with antiquated systems, broken processes, and too much work and you have yourself a perfect storm of awful. Lastly, management (the partners, the owners overseas, and various thought leaders and favored upper levels of management) recently received massive payouts for the sale of the company (the doltish CEO received ~$50M for example). The rank and file, those who make the company work, received nothing and talks are in the work of a raise freeze. Do not work here.
