Pros

Access to data that isn't readily available elsewhere.

Cons

Culture is one of self-infatuation and arrogance. Little follow-through in the organization, which isn't all that atypical for a start-up but for some reason it's grinding here.

Pros

The idea of working with Geospatial data is fascinating. People want to have conversations with you.

Cons

Where is the on going revenue going to come from? Companies need to understand how to work with this data but Planet has no vision in how to do business with larger organizations. Planet can't deliver on what they're selling.
