Working on getting better - Planner PARTech Employee Review

Remote environment, great leadership, clear objectives and communication, friendly partners

No cons to report at this time

The people. You will meet genuinely talented, hardworking individuals who make the day-to-day more bearable. That's the highlight.

The environment is deeply unstable. Layoffs happen multiple times a year, and because the company is small enough to avoid public disclosure requirements, they happen quietly, which only amplifies the anxiety. No one feels safe. Leadership has cultivated a yes-man culture. Advancement is not tied to results or merit. It is tied to how well you mirror leadership's opinions back to them. This filters out independent thinkers and rewards compliance, which poisons everything below it. That culture produces burnout at scale. Overwork is the expectation, and no matter how much you give, you will be told it is not enough. The goalpost is always moving, literally. Goals are changed throughout the year, and you are then evaluated against those revised targets, which makes performance reviews meaningless and demoralizing. HR has not been a stabilizing force. 2025 promotions and layoffs were not finalized until the end of May, with zero clarity on what happens with mid-year reviews. That kind of dysfunction signals that even basic people operations are not being managed with any intentionality.
