Thank you for taking the time to leave share your feedback. While we are happy to hear that you liked the culture and your colleagues at Planview; we are disappointed that you were unsatisfied with other aspects. Our management structure has evolved over the past few years as the business has grown and we have developed more of a matrixed approach to leadership. We believe that individuals should have a direct manager in their location / time zone / or country whenever possible so they have the proper support and feel empowered to take action during their workday. Teams do however need to collaborate globally and with functional leaders to stay aligned. The matrixed structure can be challenging but ultimately will provide the best support for individuals and the business as we grow. We benchmark compensation and total rewards regularly to understand market dynamics by level. Our merit process is connected to the pay bands associated with this benchmark data as well as other factors like performance and location. We'd love to hear more about your specific experience if you'd be willing to share additional details; please email HRFeedback@Planview.com

Pros

The team culture was incredible. Managers were very open and encouraging to explore new technologies and development processes. It was a very collaborative culture where engineers would often collaborate on solutions to complex problems which was especially nice given the displacement between all of the remote members of the team.

Cons

Outside of the team level, organization prioritization struggled. One day the stated priority might be one thing then the following day it would suddenly change. I would describe it as 'chasing a shiny object' instead of a thought out vision for what the project should be when it's complete.
