Pros

The company has many individuals with tremendous expertise and great reputations as Microsoft solutions experts. It has also amassed many awards from MSFT for being a market leader in using the MSFT product suite for system integration projects for its clients. The worker bees there are a great group of hard-working, loyal employees who go above and beyond to perform and support company objectives. The company acknowledges them through various employee appreciation events throughout the year. However, between these major activities, support is lacking and morale sometimes suffers. Compensation seems in line with industry standard, at least from this former employees perspective.

Cons

As a private company, leadership exercises its right to make decisions in what it perceives to be the best interest of the company, which is understandable. But decisions do often seem to be made in a vacuum. The people who work hard to make the company successful can be made to feel like a commodity at times in a "what have you done for me lately culture". Management asks for candid feedback but often can't handle it, or it then becomes a liability to those expressed it. Bottomline, if you are okay with working for a company with an inconsistent value system, you will be fine. You will be decently compensated. You will find support among your peers. But don't expect too much from leadership.

We have been fortunate to have phenomenal growth YoY due to team decisions that we have made. It is an exciting time to be at Planet where Microsoft awarded us the Cloud Partner of the Year for Government in 2016. We do our best to communicate on a very regular basis but can always be better and will continue to work hard to do so. Best wishes to you in your future.
