Amazing culture

Pros

Plugable has a positive culture that embraces work-life balance, encourages leadership qualities, and promotes individual decision making. I’ve never felt micromanaged. Management has a great way of lifting employees up and supporting. There’s also a lot of transparency behind decisions and initiatives. It’s nice to feel like you’re with a company, instead of just working for them.

Cons

Nothing worth complaining about, there’s always room for improvement but this is the best company I’ve ever worked for.

Pros

Most of the old reviews here do not capture the current culture of Plugable. Things have changed a lot in the last few years, the org structure has become less linear, they have promoted many employees into leadership positions, expanded their resources and talent, and adjusted HR support and company policies to address feedback. Pros: Plugable is a great place to work. At its core, Plugable has a culture that promotes transparency, work-life balance, and personal and professional growth. As an employee at Plugable, you are given trust and accountability for the work you do. I have never felt micromanaged, the management style is not top-down and it feels like everyone in the organization has an equal voice. Because we are a small company, hands-on learning and growth opportunities are available to everyone.

Cons

Growing pains. Plugable is a small company with big ambitions. It is an exciting and dynamic place to be as a company, but can also mean every employee has to punch above their weight and can be overwhelming and a little chaotic at times. The good news is that management is realistic and understanding about workload vs resources and will work with employees to navigate priorities.

Pros

Plugable has grown a lot over its 10 years. Some of the criticism voiced here is fair; some are just laughable. A few of these reviews aren't even from Plugable employees, but rather SDEs from a sister company which did not succeed and wanted to shift their failure onto CEO - for those with motivation to do more, Plugable will accommodate. opportunities for growth is possible, but you need to be a go-getter. Rewards won't be just handed to you as some previous employees here thought they are entitled to - Pretty decent benefits package (no 401k, but SIMPLE IRA) - great company atmosphere with monthly events - office space is undergoing remodel to address some of the concerns made

Cons

-The criticism with the CEO is fair. The process of moving away from a flat management structure is underway and in a good direction, but CEO does still have ultimate powers over decisions on mostly anything. this has the potential to create problems. Will continue to update this to address my experience.
