      Hi there, Thank you for your valuable feedback and the rating. We’re glad to see you had a positive experience with the team during your time with us. We are really sorry to hear that you encountered some frustrations, specifically regarding business decsions not being communicated well. We are continuously working on how to communicate business decisions in the best way and have implemented multiple formats, where we do communicate those (i.e. Townhalls, mail or Slack communications, Ask-Me-Anything sessions, etc.). We would greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your specific experience, so we can investigate and improve our processes further. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at afi@planday.com, if you would be open to share more. Best wishes, Anna People Experience Manager at Planday

      Pros

      Most colleagues are friendly, some people are amazing, but most of them left to pursue better opportunities. Quite good with social events and coming up with different activities. Lunch is good. Work/life balance is ok.

      Cons

      In this organization, only the sales team gets praised and rewarded. Mostly, other people are underpaid, not recognized, and barely get salary increases or other benefits. Some employees, with extremely challenging jobs, long working hours, and multiple years of seniority, have insanely low pay. There are absolutely no growth opportunities. No career progression opportunities and no budget to take any courses to get certified. The management says that they are open for change and more effective processes, but when it is time to implement a new process, they start to come up with reasons why it is not a good time to do it and that we should not take away the freedom to let employees do tasks in their own, unstructured way. The workplace advertises a hybrid culture, but the department executive does not believe that any work gets done when working from home. He was always sitting by the door to look at what time people come to work and leave. Only the ones being the first ones in and last ones out are “productive”. Once, I had to defend myself to be allowed to go to the GP in the middle of the day to get antibiotics for a bacterial infection, and got questioned by the said executive whether visiting the GP "is really necessary". I am so blessed that I got out of this place.

      Hello there, Thank you for sharing your candid feedback — we genuinely appreciate it, even when it's difficult to read. We are really sorry to hear that your experience left you feeling unrecognised and that the day-to-day environment felt restrictive. This is not reflective of the culture we have built at Planday, and it is not the experience we want anyone to have. We do have growth opportunities and a learning budget in place, and we are sorry these did not feel accessible or visible to you during your time with us. We are committed to continuous improvement and would greatly appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your specific experience, so we can investigate and address it directly. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at alyssa.nenstiel@planday.com. Best wishes, Alyssa Nenstiel People Experience Partner at Planday

      Pros

      Good benefits and nice teammates.

      Cons

      Shift of focus in the core markets, bets on new unsure markets.

      Hello Plandayer, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your current experience and for your rating. We genuinely appreciate your recognition of the great benefits and good colleagues - these are important aspects to our culture here at Planday, thank you for highlighting them as pros. We also hear your honest feedback regarding strategy - changes and shifts can feel uncertain.

You are also welcome to ping me directly if you'd like to discuss this further, or if there is more feedback you’d like to share. We look forward to seeing your continued growth here at Planday!
