Planisware Reviews

The company leaders are backwards thinking, evidenced by their stringent back-to-office policy (which is strict for US offices only) and disproportionately affects lower-ranking employees compared to upper management. Directors and VP-level personnel often demonstrate infrequent office attendance, fostering a perception of unequal treatment. This company approach to micromanage is obviously aimed at cultivating a false sense of camaraderie at the office, by pressuring especially lower-level staff to physically be present in the office, all of this for us to seat on virtual meetings via Microsoft Teams while we are in the office. It just doesn’t make sense. On top of that, the limited office space, devoid of cubicles and excessively reliant on a few conference rooms for a workforce of approximately 60-80 employees per office, poses significant challenges to productivity. The company's compensation packages fall below industry standards, both in comparison to competitors and the broader tech market in the US. Failure to align with the compensation norms in Silicon Valley and other tech hubs results in good talent avoiding the company, or leaving Planisware. ~90% of US management are French and there’s growing dissatisfaction that employees are getting promoted/ or not being reprimanded, only because they are French. Some of these same managers are not qualified for the jobs they are doing, or do not perform on the level needed, but it feels like this does not matter to leadership.

Upper management are completely unaware or choose not to be aware of the toxic culture within teams. Some upper managers are abrasive, micromanagers, and rude to their direct reports. C-suite management have no accountability benchmarks to ensure their upper management are ethical and honest. The company prioritizes reaching their goals rather than ensuring lower and mid level managers are treated well from upper management. Can be quite cliquey with some more senior staff within a team. I have witnessed Micro aggressions, abrasive behavior, and negative remarks about others outside and within some teams during team meetings which is pretty common. If you don’t hate the same colleagues they hate you will be their next target.
