Pros

Cool culture, SPACE! and free food. Everyone works hard and they truly hire the best.

Cons

Layoffs. Space is hard and I have seen some of the best get laid off from Planet. Its common knowledge rockets blow up and are delayed but I wish the top management would look more long term and retain some of the talent we have lost.

Growing quickly and starting to improve benefits

Lower comp and raises overall, and as with space, stock is pretty variable.

Pros

Super smart colleagues and a lot of agency

Cons

Kinda hard to prioritize, with so much control it’s hard to know what the next best step is
