Pros

Social activities and free food

Cons

Large amount of administrative tasks that take away from your actual job. Received little to no training under a heavy workload, they expected perfection yet was hauled over the coals if it wasn't achieved. I've been rushing to meet metrics they demanded which I don't believe are humanly achievable, often working 10 hours plus per day late into the night. Its totally exhausting I was completely burnt out within 3 months.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback; we’re sorry to hear that your experience hasn't been meeting your expectations. We want to reassure you that regular long working hours are not what we expect from our team; we encourage a healthy worklife balance, and while we set ambitious goals, our focus is on collaboration and continuous improvement - for employees and customers alike. Timesheets and admin processes are a necessary part of how we fairly and accurately deliver for our customers, but we regularly review these to ensure they remain purposeful and not overly burdensome. We also acknowledge your comments about training and workload. We continue to invest in onboarding, learning, and development to better support our people and set them up for success. We value all feedback as it helps us reflect and improve. Open and transparent communication is strongly encouraged so please reach out to your manager or a member of the People and Talent team if you wish to discuss further. As for your advice on getting rid of timesheets; we won't be taking this advice due to the reasons outlined above - but we're glad to hear you're enjoying the free snacks!

Pros

PlotBox has a great and welcoming family from a variety of backgrounds and when I joined I was kindly welcomed to the team. During my time at PlotBox I saw how caring the community is and how everyone lifted each other up to celebrate their victories and support them during hard times. Beyond the people, the work is also great and I was able to express my interests and my growth points and management helped me grow those skills by giving me new opportunities.

Cons

I was staffed remotely and I wish I got to meet these wonderful people in person.
