      Company removes reviews

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits, time off, mostly remote work.

      Cons

      I posted a review here several weeks ago that was accepted, however, I initially recieved an email that the company had attempted to remove the review but Glassdoor determined they wouldn't remove it. However, it seems PLTW was persistent, so Glassdoor asked me to rewrite the review. Due to this fact, I think the first thing to know is that PLTW works hard to censor any honest feedback from their employees. To summarize my previous review, I would encourage anyone looking to join PLTW, and current employees, to review the organization's form 990 for the last few years. Here you can see how the c-suite's compensation changes (increases) compared to the rest of the employees struggling to keep up with inflation. I will mostly echo other reviews here. The people are unkind, leadership is out of touch, and in general something feels off. PLTW tries so hard to mask the internal inequity it's embarrassing. Stop trying to fix the problems with company swag and "extras." Fix the problems by addressing the broken performance review process, stop underpaying everyone but leadership, and definitely stop stifling feedback by persuading Glassdoor to remove negative reviews.

We are incredibly gratified that recently over 88% of our organization shared that they are happy with their work experience would recommend PLTW as a great place to work.

      Pros

      Ok benefits Remote for the most part SOME nice people.

      Cons

      - Terrible pay (except for the higher ups of course, see form 990) - Insulting performance review process, leaving everyone unsatisfied. - CEO gloats about how much money they have for acquisition in meetings to underpaid employees. - Compulsory pointless meetings. - Compulsory pointless travel. - Management openly mock the new CEO to anyone who will listen. Very messy. - Management spends a lot of time rearranging things to make it seem like they’re doing something, or holding meetings where they subject you too a self-indulgent apology for the insensitive jokes they made the previous day. - In my time at the company I saw multiple people resign effective immediately, or be let go without warning. - There is no accountability, something is always someone else’s fault. - Loyalty, honesty and new ideas are not rewarded.

      Absence of Leadership

      Director
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Co-workers (peers) that are willing to help and still have a passion for educational success rather than just growing the bottom line. Positions have remote options. 403b match.

      Cons

      Many managers (multiple VP, Senior VP, Executive VPs on each team) but no true leadership. Lower than average pay, unless you are included in the group above. Review PLTWs form 990 for more details.
