Pluspunten

A very casual dress code, lots of PTO and free soda.

Minpunten

Plattform seems good on paper. When you're hired you're promised the moon in terms of company culture, benefits and growth opportunities to make up for the lack luster pay. Management spends a lot of time self congratulation, telling you how nice they are for bringing in a food truck or hosting a mandatory picnic while chipping away at your benefits and sticking you with longer hours. Also their paid benefits are a lie, they clearly tell you after you're hired how much of your pay is going to benefits, your salary is what left over after paying for your benefits, they just word it in a tricky way. You are encouraged to finger point, there's a whole system in place to do it. Your manager and emailed form upper management instruct you to blame someone if there are any issues on any project. You will not be developed at all as an employee. For the first year I was with Plattform I had training opportunists, classes and more available to me all the time. However in the past three years those have all gone away. All promotions are given to outside heirs. Nepotism has also been a huge problem in the past. The kids and friends of upper management are often given do nothing positions within the company.

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

Pluspunten

Strong remote‑first culture, which I appreciated.

Minpunten

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
