Pros

There are a lot of good people working here, they're smart hard working and eager to build something.

Cons

Leadership doesn't seem to see a way to innovate without buying up competition and sending jobs to cheaper countries. The people I worked with cared deeply about the industries they were serving and had a lot of ideas on how to improve products or even innvate in new products, but leadership didn't seem receptive to building new things.

Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing the exceptional talent we have at Planview. I want to address your concerns about innovation and clarify some important initiatives we have undertaken. While strategic acquisitions are part of our growth strategy, we have made significant investments in organic innovation. Over the past few years, we've increased our engineering headcount to support investments across our product portfolio. Our commitment to fostering innovation is also evidenced by our widely successful annual Hackathon, which generates many innovations that make it into product roadmaps. We've also implemented Innovation Days and Innovation Sprints, where teams can explore new ideas and technologies on a more regular cadence. These initiatives have already produced several promising projects that are part of our strategy. Gartner recently positioned us again as a Leader in their Magic Quadrant, specifically highlighting our pace of innovation and delivery to the market. We are even more excited about current innovations in our AI platform and modernized data architecture. We encourage our team members to participate in all our innovation programs and are excited about the future of Planview!

Pros

Working at Planview has provided me with the opportunity to grow professionally while collaborating with talented and supportive teams across the organization. As a Senior Global Training Consultant, I’ve had the chance to work closely with customers around the world, helping them adopt solutions that improve portfolio management, strategic planning, and operational efficiency. One of the things I value most about Planview is the culture of collaboration and innovation. There is a genuine willingness across teams to share knowledge, support one another, and continuously improve the customer experience. I also appreciate the flexibility to explore new ideas and technologies, especially around AI-enabled learning, customer enablement, and modern training approaches. The company encourages continuous learning and provides opportunities to expand both technical and professional skills. Over the years, I’ve been able to deepen my expertise in enterprise portfolio management while also contributing to new initiatives that help customers realize greater value from the platform. What has kept me here is the combination of meaningful customer impact, strong team relationships, and the ability to continue learning and evolving in my role. It’s rewarding to work for a company that values innovation, customer success, and employee contributions.

Cons

Like many growing technology companies, Planview operates in a fast-paced environment where priorities and initiatives can evolve quickly. At times, balancing multiple projects and organizational changes can be challenging, especially in customer-facing roles that support global teams and clients across different time zones. Because Planview continues to innovate and expand its product capabilities, there can also be a learning curve with new processes, tools, or strategic initiatives. However, for individuals who enjoy continuous learning, collaboration, and adapting to change, these challenges can also create strong opportunities for professional growth and skill development.
