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.

Pros

Strong external branding and PR. The organization looks good from the outside, and it’s connected to Calgary’s innovation ecosystem. If you're only here for your resume or to network externally, you might get some mileage.

Cons

Leadership hires their personal connections and past colleagues into roles behind closed doors, skipping transparent processes entirely. It’s less about merit, more about who you know (in the worst way possible) Various people are let go without clear reason. There’s no feedback, no performance framework—just politics. Good people leave fast. Some are pushed out for being too competent or let go without reason. If you challenge decisions or refuse to play along with the internal clique, you’re out. It’s a toxic culture built on fear and false collaboration. Leadership loves to talk about equity, innovation, and community—but fails to embody any of it behind the scenes. It’s all PR, no backbone. When things go wrong (layoffs, mistreatment, bullying from leaderships, staff turnover), leadership disappears. There’s no transparency, no accountability. Don’t expect any professional development, mentorship, or a clear trajectory either. Their high turnover speaks for itself.
