Pros

Positive daily work environment, casual work environment, fun culture, good health/dental/life benefits, immediately vested in 401K investments/match, summer flex Fridays, Holiday Week PTO, leadership that is now seeing that it is time to focus back on taking really good care of our people.

Cons

Inconsistencies: (Examples) Leadership strength varies greatly, some managers are the best you could possibly want, and others should NOT be leaders of people. Communication of HR information lacks consistency, some things you will get 20 emails about and other items you find out after the fact through the grapevine.

Yes, change has been happening. And very happy you are going to stay. While I think we have an outstanding company today, the changes will continue to evolve PlattForm to an even better company. I am committed to this!! I also appreciate your comments on communication and leadership. We are continuing to develop our leaders with training and working really hard on consistent communication. This is always a hard thing to do for many growing companies, but we agree we need to get better. I am open to get more feedback on your thoughts and would love to meet face to face. Send me a note to my email steve.fireng@plattform.com. In the meantime thanks for your time here at PlattForm (wow over 10 years!!) and look forward to hearing your thoughts to continue to improve our company. Steve

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
