Great company to work for! - Project Manager/Software Engineer Planet DDS Employee Review

Planet DDS is full of kind, talented, and motivated people who genuinely care about their work and about each other. Leadership is approachable and open to feedback. When people share ideas, you actually see them put into action, which says a lot about the culture. The company has grown in such a positive direction, with more focus on collaboration, recognition, and creating an environment where people feel supported and valued. It’s a place that trusts you to do great work, gives you the flexibility to make it happen, and lets you show up as your authentic self every day.

Like any company that’s growing fast, there are still a few areas catching up to the pace of expansion. Sometimes information lives in pockets, and communication between departments could be smoother. A bit more alignment and visibility would make things flow even better. The good thing is, leadership seems genuinely aware of this and is taking real steps to strengthen cross-team collaboration, which is great to see.

You have the ability to work from home if you live further away from one of the hubs.

Management closely monitors employees' daily activities to the point that it feels like every moment of your workday is being tracked, creating an environment that lacks trust and autonomy. Employees are frequently assigned additional roles and responsibilities without corresponding increases in pay or benefits. Those who express concerns or push back against these expectations often feel singled out, as management appears to make examples of employees who do not readily comply.
