Planet Technologies reviews

As a private company, leadership exercises its right to make decisions in what it perceives to be the best interest of the company, which is understandable. But decisions do often seem to be made in a vacuum. The people who work hard to make the company successful can be made to feel like a commodity at times in a "what have you done for me lately culture". Management asks for candid feedback but often can't handle it, or it then becomes a liability to those expressed it. Bottomline, if you are okay with working for a company with an inconsistent value system, you will be fine. You will be decently compensated. You will find support among your peers. But don't expect too much from leadership.

This company operates with a SERIOUS accountability problem that is fostered by leadership. There is little to no enforcement of procedures, for the very few that exist, except for the fact that quite a bit falls onto the PMO group. Leadership has a “good ol” boy culture which means that one of the problem-solving techniques actively leveraged is to blame everyone else, including the client, when things go wrong or could potentially go wrong. Yes, that’s right - even if a potential problem is presented, leadership will take the position of blaming others rather than working to consider recommendations or take steps to mitigate the risk. One of the ways the company confidently skirts accountability is to decline to create or document policies and procedures. The primary best practice is to shift responsibility by declining to define a clear division of duties. The best practice is to get it signed, then let Delivery deal with it later. The culture chips away at morale and discourages people from speaking up. Bringing up potential problems or even asking asking questions can be seen as an attack and is met with defensive juvenile responses. Benefits and PTO are average or below average.
