"Being a project manager, while stressful at times, is also very stimulating. It has kept me on my toes during my tenure with the Target Corporation and has helped me develop skills which will serve me well for the rest of my life."

Project Manager at Galderma
in Fort Worth, TX

What do you like about working at Galderma?

"The people below the director level are for the most part good people but are stifled by poor management. Those in upper management that are good are handcuffed from effecting positive change."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Outside of the benefits, due mostly to association with the two very large parent companies, it's a crummy corp culture to work in."

What don't you like about working at Galderma?

"Culture is non existent...HR killed a grass roots employee organization, no one is ever held accountable, the only goal each year is to make the year's profit margin so there's never any room for strategic planning. Managers there in depts outside of Sales think that managing people is akin to babysitting and for the most part they are, breed and accept mediocrity. The president role is a revolving door for those only interested in moving up the ranks of the parent companies."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Hold your own accountable. That is the first step to ending mediocrity."

Project Manager at TSYS
in Columbus, GA

What do you like about working at TSYS?

"I really enjoyed the work and the variety of working for different clients. The travel was nice. Money was good."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Go somewhere else. This company has a track record of using people and then getting rid of them."

What don't you like about working at TSYS?

"Upper management micro-managed almost everything. Project managers did not have project teams but were assigned teams that all reported to a separate manager so the project manager had no control of team members or their assignments or etc. Bad situation to be in as a project manager. Most of the middle- management has been there since the company began and they don't think that anyone who has worked anywhere else knows anything. Upper management is made up of guys that were fortunate sons of other fortunate sons and are mostly clueless."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"WAKE UP!! The people who 'have always been there' are not the brightest bulbs in the box and are the cause of most of the problems. Let the people who manage projects manage the whole project and not just the schedule."
