Great workplace, better product

Marketing solutions manager

Business Outlook

Pros

- Excellent people across the organization both horizontally and vertically - Clear and transparent communication on company goals, health, progress and vision - Role dependent, but in my experience, there is a healthy work/life balance and encouragement from leadership to take time away from work to recharge - Clear goal setting initiatives and progress tracking - Continuous effort to enable growth for employees

Cons

- Some departments do not get as many opportunities as others to get together in person while many employees work remotely. - Career progression within the company can be foggy - High level leadership turnover can be tough to navigate at middle management level or front-line worker level

Amazing product, terrible toxic culture

Software engineer

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The tech stack was incredibly modern and innovative. The product itself is technically impressive and was enjoyable to work on. My talented and supportive colleagues made the difference every single day.

Cons

Chronic micromanagement, poor work-life balance, and a complete failure to implement Agile properly. Chronic micromanagement, poor work-life balance, and a complete failure to implement Agile properly. Unrealistic expectations of overcapacity of work and constant scrutiny led to high stress and low morale, and I know I wasn't the only team member who felt like this on a regular basis. Unachievable overreaching sprint goals did nothing to foster employee confidence but instead compounded anxiety. Team was overworked regularly. Since moving on, I’ve found a company that is set up to practice Agile properly with qualified Agile coaches and scrum masters, supports employee development and treats its staff with respect. That contrast made it clear how damaging and toxic the culture at Planet truly was.
