There were some very nice people

Cons

Not enough training and the expectations were that you would work 12 hour days. No Positive feedback for work well done.

Pros

Casual work environment, interesting work

Cons

Long work hours, unreasonable expectations, Executive leadership says they care about employee well being and satisfaction, but when it comes time to put that into action they fall. PlattForm recently did not retro merit increases for over 70 employees back to their review date, even after communicating in writing the would. Very disappointing.

PlattForm has always taken pride in being a place where employees work hard for the benefit of our clients. With our increased emphasis on aligning our goals to our business plan and our clients’ objectives, we will work smart on the things that matter. But, in a partner focused business many employees have to respond to the immediate needs, which does require extra work from time to time. We continue to focus on work/life balance by hiring quality employees, delivering ongoing training and development, and providing opportunities for employees to interact in non-work settings for fun and for the benefit of community philanthropic organizations. Regarding the recent merit increase, this was the transition year in which we moved the entire organization to a common review date that aligns merit increases to the business fiscal year. Employees’ merit increases were pro-rated back to the employees’ last pay increase, which in most cases was the same date as the last review date. If you’d like to sit down to review this further, or somehow was not done right in your situation, please schedule time with HR or myself to discuss further.

Did not meet any expectations.

Pros

There are some very good people employed there. Built good relationships. They try hard to afford you opportunities to be trained and mentored. (Although not well executed) I have taken a few skills with me to my next job.

Cons

The initial pay is significantly below market. It's not competitive. The jobs may have marketing related titles, but those interested in marketing will often be dissatisfied with the responsibilities they are given. The benefit of free health care is positioned as being a part of your salary. The CEO even said such in a luncheon with new employees. However, the health care is a below average plan. It would be worth it to work for a few thousand dollars more somewhere else (which isn't hard) and pay into their plan. The overall benefits package is sub par. Time off was below average. Taking a lunch was more or less discouraged in my department. The proclaimed dynamic culture falls on it's face, and winds up feeling more like high school than corporate culture. You will have a hard time finding time to play ping pong or pinball. Too much to be done. Your professional growth is limited to the compartmentalized responsibilities of one job function. You have to start all over again in a different position to really gain experience in other areas. This limits your opportunities outside of the company in regards to promotions. If you're an SEO Specialist at PlattForm, it'll be hard for you to develop other skill sets. You'll have to take a step back somewhere else to really learn those skills, or laterally within the company at a lower than average salary.

First of all, I appreciate your comments. Second, I apologize that you did not have a great experience at PlattForm. I believe in our leadership, culture and our tremendous growth opportunity, but I understand that we are in the middle of a strategy evolution and not everything is buttoned up. Sometimes where you are in your career and where the company is in their trajectory are not a good match. I wish you all the best in your new endeavors. Steve Fireng CEO
