Not worth it

Pros

Fast paced start-up environment. Work with new technologies.

Cons

Work you to the bone, worse than any startup I have ever seen. Management doesn’t care how hard you are forced to work, as long as you meet the marketing and PR posts they will work you to the bone.

Pros

- snacks + daily paid lunches - friendly colleagues - decent health insurance - remote Fridays

Cons

- Terrible/non-existent leadership that blames their lack of efforts and time to actually train and build on the teams. - Absolutely 0 roadmap stability. They tend to make rash decisions and are constantly changing how the team works on a daily basis causing constant chaos. - No investment into the Customer Success team. If you want to feel valued, I would confidently say the Planoly CS team is not for you. - No follow through. Any promises or offers made to you, I would highly suggest not to take at face value, as they have no reservations in receding or changing their minds. - Lower management has no idea what they are doing, and upper management doesn't have any interest in bettering the situation even though they will tell you they do. - The examples of what goes on there are worse than what I have written here. Until they figure out what they are doing, I would highly suggest passing on this CS team unless desperate.

Great team, bad management. Future feels hopeless.

Pros

The people who actually do the work here are great. Company culture is pretty solid. Rock solid benefits.

Cons

- Upper management likes to go heavy on micromanaging people. It doesn't matter if they have no experience whatsoever with what you do; they'll go around your boss, and even their own VP-level peer that runs your department, so they can judge how you're working. Even if they understand next to nothing about what you do. - PLANOLY operates in an extremely saturated market, one which is getting smaller and smaller by the day as Instagram loses social media market share to TikTok. Our attempt to pivot from being an IG planner to more of a video planner was an absolute disaster of a project due to mismanagement from the top, and the company may never recover from the morale losses we suffered there. - Which leads to the next point: people are quitting and getting laid off left and right. In the last two months, at least ten people have either quit or gotten laid off. That's a LOT for a company of less than 50. It feels like we're on a path to shutting down entirely.
