PlaceIQ reviews

The company missed the boat on location data and analytics. Now it's become commodotized, that google and facebook have or are entering into the fray. They've had multiple rounds of layoffs, and let some really intelligent people leave or go. Companies will always have office politics, but not to the degree that runs rampant at PlaceIQ. There's definitely alot of unfounded, inflated egos at the company, even after the layoffs. They used to promote a fraternity atmosphere, where you couldn't make suggestions. Now it's become more of an every man for himself attitude. There's still that clique-ish atmosphere, to where those in the "clique" get rewarded and promoted over work based merit. It's become a bit toxic and keeping people down has become the norm. The technology used to be great, trying to solve complex problems, but now it seems they're trying to maintaian a product that's practically become commoditized versus trying to innovate something new. It reminds me of the microsoft office days, where microsoft was trying to keep the old office model when google came out with docs,sheets, slides. Microsoft at least saw the writing on the wall. and changed. PlaceIQ doesn't recognize that it needs to change, dramatically, to stay relevant.

Lack of transparency and increasingly negative outlook on business.
