Pros

The general staff Production, Sales, Product, and Engineering are wonderful, thoughtful people.

Cons

One of the most poorly run companies I've been at. The Leadership is absolutely awful. The CEO's inability to make business decisions and hold upper management accountable has held the company back about 2 years on their roadmap. The COO is easily one of the worst people I've ever worked for. Condescending, aggressive, and overall demeaning to workers except his few favorites. The CFO/VP of Finance is useless, but keeps failing up and getting credit for other people's work because he knows how to brown nose effectively. The salaries don't make any sense- they lowball great people and give deeply undeserved raises to others. It is ultimately a pretty demoralizing place to work. Perfect microcosm of everything toxic and awful you hear about start ups. I have no idea how they keep getting funding.

The employees at Plethora are wonderful and thoughtful people. Our leadership team has worked hard to attract and retain talented individuals, and over the last year the results have been evident. We have set aggressive goals for ourselves, and we are achieving them. In October we set internal records AGAIN for bookings and revenue. Our production system is becoming more efficient daily. All of that means we have had to hold our employees accountable. Our company's mission and goals, translate down to department goals and individual performance objectives. The experience for our employees should be consistent, and they're held to behavioral and performance expectations. When someone is struggling to meet our expectations we try to work with them to find success strategies, but eventually if that doesn't work, after step corrective action, and a performance improvement process, we have to part ways. Our hope is that every person who has exited Plethora has good luck in their future endeavors. Growth and performance as a company is difficult to achieve, but with teamwork, and constant deliberation, Plethora is doing the right things for our company's and employee's success.
