Pros

Casual work environment, interesting work

Cons

Long work hours, unreasonable expectations, Executive leadership says they care about employee well being and satisfaction, but when it comes time to put that into action they fall. PlattForm recently did not retro merit increases for over 70 employees back to their review date, even after communicating in writing the would. Very disappointing.

PlattForm has always taken pride in being a place where employees work hard for the benefit of our clients. With our increased emphasis on aligning our goals to our business plan and our clients’ objectives, we will work smart on the things that matter. But, in a partner focused business many employees have to respond to the immediate needs, which does require extra work from time to time. We continue to focus on work/life balance by hiring quality employees, delivering ongoing training and development, and providing opportunities for employees to interact in non-work settings for fun and for the benefit of community philanthropic organizations. Regarding the recent merit increase, this was the transition year in which we moved the entire organization to a common review date that aligns merit increases to the business fiscal year. Employees’ merit increases were pro-rated back to the employees’ last pay increase, which in most cases was the same date as the last review date. If you’d like to sit down to review this further, or somehow was not done right in your situation, please schedule time with HR or myself to discuss further.

We take wellbeing very seriously and while remote can be difficult I am so glad we have maintained such a positive environment Steve

Pros

Strong remote‑first culture, which I appreciated.

Cons

I was one week into the job when my manager informed me that my pre‑planned vacation would not be approved. This trip was booked and fully paid for a year in advance, and it was meant to celebrate several major milestones in my life: my graduation, my 30th birthday, and my anniversary. Canceling was not an option without losing several thousands of dollars. During this conversation, I was told that new hires are only allowed to take two days off at a time. This policy was never mentioned during the hiring process, and I could not find it anywhere in my new‑hire paperwork. For a company that emphasizes work‑life balance and well‑being, the lack of flexibility was surprising and disappointing. Instead of working with me on a reasonable solution, they chose to deny the request entirely. As a result, I resigned. It’s unfortunate that the company preferred to restart the hiring process rather than allow one pre‑planned vacation. I do not recommend accepting a job at this company if you have any upcoming travel or personal commitments.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry this situation was disappointing, particularly given how meaningful this trip was. PTO guidelines, including expectations for new hires, are reviewed during onboarding, and we encourage early discussion of any pre‑planned commitments. We appreciate the feedback and wish you all the best going forward
