Pros

PLTW has a caring family atmosphere, team members you can count on, and a great mission. I've worked here for more than 5 years and have seen people come and go. Some leave for advancement, some for a different direction, and some are very unhappy as can be seen by other reviews. Reviews tell one side of the story, but they don’t tell the story of those of us who continue to be happy working at PLTW. Like any job there are cycles that are more difficult that others. The attitude with which we deal with the ups and downs is on each of us. I do think there is work to be done here and I will try to be part of the solution. There are plenty of others here like me. I would recommend PLTW to a friend. The grass is not always greener elsewhere.

Cons

The atmosphere is formal. There are barriers to be broken down between what the junior/mid level employees see and feel versus how some senior leaders see the company, our goals and employee culture.

Pros

Wonderful benefits from heath care, to retirement, to little perks like snacks and drinks made available.

Cons

Leadership is a mixed bag depending on the division. Some areas are fab, others are toxic.

Pros

Unlimited PTO and 401K match

Cons

Micromanagement, lack of transparency, disrespectful coworkers and managers. Do not abide by their core values and do not care about their employees. They have done quite a few layoffs and keep pushing a notion that the company is fine financially… their priorities are not aligned with the current educational climate.
