A great company to work for

Pros

A little over a year into my role at Planet DDS I couldn't be happier. In my role, I work with everyone from the entire exec leadership team to engineers, salespeople, implementation specialists, and product/project managers. I disagree with some of the other posts about poor communication and lack of accountability. I have firsthand experience of successful cross-collaboration between teams, which wouldn't work without open and productive communication and there is most definitely accountability at every level. Again, I've witnessed C-Level execs owning issues. I've also celebrated many internal promotions of my colleagues. I suppose if you're looking to blend in and collect a paycheck, maybe this isn't the place for you. If you want to be part of a challenging, diverse, and collaborative team, where you're given the latitude to be creative and use your critical thinking skills, then this is absolutely the place for you. I came from a highly dysfunctional org prior to joining PDDS, and while no company is perfect, they really do try to attain it, which, in the end, makes them excellent in my book.

Cons

I work with all these great people, and with most of us working remotely, there aren't enough opportunities to meet in person. Other than that, there's really nothing other than the day to day challenges that you're going get with anything you do. It's called work for a reason.

Pros

Growth opportunities, flexible time off, remote or hybrid schedule. Overall it is a great company there have been some growing pains, but overall the company is a great place to work.

Cons

Not everyone has a great work life balance. Some managers/directors shouldn't be manager/directors. Not everyone is held to the same standards when it comes to accountability.

Pros

The culture at Planet DDS cannot be beat. When it comes to setting the example, it starts at the top with the CEO and ELT. If you are looking for a place where you can be recognized and rewarded for working hard collaboratively and independently, this is the place for you. If you are looking to find a job where you can draw a paycheck while disappearing in a corner, this is not the place for you. At PDDS, they value, praise and reward team players, empathy, accountability, trust and ambition. Having worked for two of the largest organizations in the industry, this is by far the happiest and most successful time of my career.

Cons

I'm having a hard time with this one. I work with a great group of people working towards the same goal. Any time large groups of people come together, someone somewhere will find a way to do something that irritates you. That's not an isolated PDDS problem though. And, those issues are minor and easily resolved. I guess this could be a con, but your success is dependent on you. PDDS is a growth company. If you are hired, then your skills are needed, or wanted, or both. The expectations are reasonable but high.
