Pros

People who work there are great, good location, perks of working remotely/travel depending on job title

Cons

Had no induction with HR at the beginning, depend immensely on individuals, no clear structure at times, most systems held together with glue and plaster, no proper reviews with employees, terrible recruitment at times, left head scratching at some management decisions

Planet Response

I am sorry to read that you feel you did not get a good induction. We are working on this and have recently designed a new induction programme that we have started to roll out across the group. Please do not hesitate to reach out to local HR in Galway or indeed a member of the central HR team if you would like to have an open conversation about your experience. We would be happy to consider any suggestions you have as we value all our colleagues that make up the Planet family.
