Pros
- Planet is unquestionably dominating small/medium sat EO. - CEO is engaging and effective. - Amazing for space nerds. Rocket launches are fun to see.
Cons
- I worked at Planet for 3 years, and not a single person ever said "good morning". - No one ever wanted to talk shop over a beer. - Generally rude and arrogant behavior by just about everyone in the office. No one bothers to look you in the eye or remember your name. - Middle management was the worst I've ever experienced. The focus was on "diversity" rather than making a profitable and sustainable business. - Extremely high turn over. The people that I did managed to connect with either quit or got laid off. - Planet may or may not have had a CTO, but I never met him or heard from him. Software development is dominated by a few early guys, and there is no leadership and no new thinking.
