Terry Rock is not a good leader

Pros

The team members are one of a kind. You will not work with better people. They are smart, kind, mission-driven, and enjoy getting messy.

Cons

Senior leadership (CEO + COO) are woefully inept and do not understand how to empower the team, make strategic decisions, or create process that is actually scalable. The senior leadership team is not the right team to get Platform into the next phase of the organization's development. This, unfortunately, does not seem to be heard or recognized at the board-level who seem to applaud everything both Terry and Jen do, while having 0 awareness to the every day struggle employees are facing because of the two of them playing favourites among staff members, following inequitable hiring practices, and gender/age discrimination.

Terrible Senior Leadership

Anonymous employee

Business outlook

Pros

Platform is made up of some of the most genuine, hardworking, talented team members people you will ever meet, for now. Friday's are off in the summer because they overwork, under-appreciate you & underpay you. But hey, who doesn't like a long weekend for two months?

Cons

The senior leadership (CEO/COO) does not care about the staff. They favour certain people and they don't hide it. They refuse to take action, address issues and create processes that would honestly fix a lot of issues. For over three years these conversations have been ongoing and it's astounding that the board has not intervened. Platform has lost so many incredible people and I believe the turnover will continue to happen until drastic measures are put into place. For Terry having a PHD in Strategy, he really doesn't understand strategy.

Don’t do it

Pros

People, benefits are one of the best, location, connections

Cons

Avoid working here at all costs if you can. If you’re a certain type of person, you could last a little longer. I’m surprised no one has called out the current CEO on the historical and ongoing pattern that seems to occur while he’s in power. It’s astonishing. He’s not very well liked in the community due to obvious reasons. He continues to eliminate the men in power around him and only hires women of a certain demographic to leadership positions or people without a backbone. These people then figure out his narcissistic ways and leave on their own accord. He plays a political game and doesn’t seem to actually care about workers as he claims. Yes, it’s high school all over again. The focus of the business has changed which is fair. I the business still doesn’t seem to have a clear mandate.
