Planet reviews

I've worked in the industry for around 10 years, mostly at progressive large to very large tech companies (Facebook, Google, etc). I decided to try out life in small to medium sized startups, and by comparison it was terrible. Chaotic, low quality engineering, difficult peers, and cliques controlling everything. I had just about written off smaller companies until I started working for Planet. At Planet I'm proud of the work my team does. We hold ourselves to a high engineering standard, and I feel like everyone's opinions matter. I see strong management, and strong leadership from senior engineers. I'm glad of this because I feel we're doing important work. There's pressure to deliver, but the quality of my peers assures me we will. Like most startups Planet is driving hard toward profitability, but I am convinced the company has a more humanitarian bent than most. From the executive level down it's obvious that many people work here because they care about monitoring the planet's health.

This is a really interesting place to work. Super thoughtful, smart people who actually CARE about the world-- not just another tech firm selling ads.
