Pros
I've been in People leadership long enough to know the difference between a company that talks about its values and one that actually uses them to make decisions. p44 is the latter, not perfectly, but genuinely. The AI investment here is real: we've put serious resources into training every team member on Claude and AI tools, and I've watched people across functions change how they work because of it. The leadership team is sharp, direct, and willing to be challenged. There's a high-ownership culture that attracts people who want to actually move things, not just manage process. And the market moment is real: supply chain visibility powered by AI is where the industry is going, and we're not chasing it, we're building it.
Kontras
The pace and the ambiguity are features for some people and dealbreakers for others, and I don't think we're always honest enough about that upfront. This is a company that moves fast, changes direction when it needs to, and expects you to figure things out with incomplete information. If you need a lot of structure to do your best work, this may not be the right fit. We've also been through some difficult chapters over the last few years, headcount reductions that were necessary but painful, and rebuilding trust after those moments takes time and consistency. We're in a new phase now and the possibilities are endless.
