Average culture with below average top management - Anonymous employee Plooto Employee Review

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy your time with Plooto, and I would like to clarify some misconceptions. Plootonians can work from anywhere, and they will continue to work from anywhere. We have Plootonians in California and BC—they work from home, without offices. We have an office in Toronto should anyone want to participate, and some certainly do, but no one is forced to come in. We wouldn’t even have enough desks! We believe in providing flexibility as the nature of work is rapidly changing. As a scaling start-up, we are continuously improving our processes. We finalized our most recent quarterly OKRs in three half-day sessions; this did not take months. We recognize that OKRs can be difficult to grasp, and we give our people the time and space they need to understand them. As a merit-based culture we need to take OKRs seriously. Unlike some companies, our Objectives and Key Results are 100% metrics-driven. They build a shared vision and help guide what all Plootonians should be focused on. Our product launches take the time they need to ensure we provide value to our customers. We don’t crunch, work long hours or weekends to ship something that doesn’t meet anyone’s standards. And I will say, our Engineers have an exceptionally strong retention rate at Plooto. They are exceptionally talented, and we are thankful they are here. In fact, all our people are incredibly talented, and we are thankful that they chose to be here. We reward our people based on merit and provide radical candor to ensure areas of improvement are clear if they aren't ready for promotion; this shouldn't be a surprise. Salaries are based on market data to ensure internal and external equity and our total rewards, including bonuses and options, are not below market. And yes, we certainly do encourage Plootonians to write glassdoor reviews about their experience (regardless of tenure). However, we do not force anyone to write one, nor do we incentivize anyone to do so. We encourage Plootonians to speak up and provide direct, rapid feedback. We want potential candidates to have multiple data points to make a reliable decision themselves instead of just seeing a vocal minority online. Thank you for your time with Plooto. We truly do wish you success in finding a better fit!
