Pros

• Good benefits • Very casual dress code • Nice offices Plattform has a lot of good ideas. Their offices are fun with excellent equipment in their brake rooms and even an onsite convince store. Their staff is on average very young and they have a lot of energy that translates in multiple activities weekly ranging from food days to concerts put on by your fellow co-workers.

Cons

• Low pay • Lots of nepotism • Ineffectual management • Lack of experienced co-workers Plattform has too many ideas and not enough action. They operate in an almost constant cycle of meetings, committees, panels, suggestion boxes and surveys that result in very little action. If you're ideas don't match those already in place by management you're treated as a problem until you're ready to give up and fall back in line. Massive turn over results in having to retrain people on a constant basis. The lack of experience in most departments results in poor communication, finger pointing and laziness. Projects will have to be gone over again and again, work repeated, and information spoon feed to coworkers time and time again. The company will boast at great length how they are the leaders in their sector then leverage none that "expertise" with clients. Massive reworking of campaigns will result from minor suggestions given both from coworkers and clients. The young staff also results in a great deal of misunderstandings from co-works who treat the work place more like a continuation of college. Co-workers will often take push backs and suggestions on projects as personal attacks when a little experience in interoffice communication and professionalism would solve most of these issues.

Pros

Strong remote‑first culture, which I appreciated.

Cons

I was one week into the job when my manager informed me that my pre‑planned vacation would not be approved. This trip was booked and fully paid for a year in advance, and it was meant to celebrate several major milestones in my life: my graduation, my 30th birthday, and my anniversary. Canceling was not an option without losing several thousands of dollars. During this conversation, I was told that new hires are only allowed to take two days off at a time. This policy was never mentioned during the hiring process, and I could not find it anywhere in my new‑hire paperwork. For a company that emphasizes work‑life balance and well‑being, the lack of flexibility was surprising and disappointing. Instead of working with me on a reasonable solution, they chose to deny the request entirely. As a result, I resigned. It’s unfortunate that the company preferred to restart the hiring process rather than allow one pre‑planned vacation. I do not recommend accepting a job at this company if you have any upcoming travel or personal commitments.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry this situation was disappointing, particularly given how meaningful this trip was. PTO guidelines, including expectations for new hires, are reviewed during onboarding, and we encourage early discussion of any pre‑planned commitments. We appreciate the feedback and wish you all the best going forward
