Pros

Free snacks is about the only thing

Cons

I chose this job based on the Glassdoor reviews and the reality was very different. Promised the world in the interview and then went back on their word once I was in the door. Miscommunication and micromanaging from the top down, departments at each other's throats, very admin heavy having to do time sheets and 1:1's every single week and a lot of unpaid overtime expected. Also very heavy drinking culture.

PlotBox Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. While your comments don't reflect the experience of the majority of our team, we take all feedback seriously and appreciate the chance to respond. At PlotBox, regular 1:1 meetings are an important part of our culture, designed to support development and build strong relationships - not to micromanage. It is during these 1:1s where meaningful discussion and clear goal setting takes place. Similarly, time tracking is essential to ensure we accurately and fairly bill customers for the work we deliver. This, in turn, supports the sustainability of our business and protects the value of everyone’s contributions. We encourage communication and strive to create an environment where everyone feels heard and supported and we are proud of the collaborative, supportive environment we continue to build. We regret that your experience does not reflect this and therefore we would encourage you to reach out directly to your own manager - perhaps during your regular 1:1 - or you can reach out to the People & Talent team who are always available to listen.

Pros

PlotBox has a great and welcoming family from a variety of backgrounds and when I joined I was kindly welcomed to the team. During my time at PlotBox I saw how caring the community is and how everyone lifted each other up to celebrate their victories and support them during hard times. Beyond the people, the work is also great and I was able to express my interests and my growth points and management helped me grow those skills by giving me new opportunities.

Cons

I was staffed remotely and I wish I got to meet these wonderful people in person.
