Pros

- Amazing colleagues overall - Social atmosphere in the two main offices (Copenhagen & London) - Cool new office spaces - Relatively flat hierarchy with quite a lot of room for ideas and propositions - Opportunity to work with inspiring passionate people who really love what they're doing - Opportunity to travel to the various offices quite often - Good work/life balance overall

Cons

- The culture, which was one of Planday's best assets, has recently become quite bad. The new CRO is placing all of his ex co-workers in strategic positions and bringing a toxic "US corporate broey" culture to the company which has a real impact on the atmosphere in the offices. A few long time valued employees have left recently as a result - The company's strategy keeps changing and is quite unclear, leading to misunderstandings, weariness, lack of motivation and trust from the employees - Management is inexistent in some departments, you rarely get the opportunity to learn from someone above you, and if something is wrong you will most likely know it when they fire you - They've let go of loads of competent people in various departments in the past 3 months with very little to no transparency, and most of these people were never given the chance to improve, or even given an honest explanation - The CEO is a nice and quite transparent guy, but he has a tendency to put of all his trust in one or two C-level individuals without questioning the impact of their decisions/behaviors on the employees, which contributes to the recent toxic culture - The product has become better in the past few months, but it's still miles away from the competition

Pros

A good product and support from the Customer Success team

Cons

In the last few months the atmosphere has really changed (not Cov19 related) and now all the good people are leaving or are trying to. New CRO has a real lack of likability/respect and his decisions have been poor. He should of stayed in opps and it feels like we have sold our soul to the devil!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. At Planday we are are always interested in how our team members are reacting to changes in team, strategy and direction. I am naturally concerned that some of the changes we have recently implemented have made this impression on you. We are hugely aware that any change can be difficult and cause concern for some employees, while others will welcome it. This is a part of managing our joint journey as a growth company and we are absolutely committed to aiding everybody to adjust to change positively and effectively. A core part of our culture at Planday is our ability to tackle difficult situations together. We always welcome the opportunity to discuss any concerns so we can make changes as smooth as possible and move forward on our journey together. CEO - Christian Brondum

Pros

work life balance exciting projects amazing coworkers benefits and parties!

Cons

I one of the cons was the physical office place, but they moved to a great new place recently, so that eliminates the only one con as well.
