Pros

The recent acquisition and overall strategic direction of the company are inspiring. I was really looking forward to taking our products to the next level... and then this...

Cons

This used to be an amazing place to work with great culture and people. Then we hired new Engineering Leadership, which has been on a rampage to destroy everything with incredible speed and efficiency. The new leadership doesn't subscribe to any of the values this company was known for. Narrow minded, the new leadership tries to apply cookie cutter processes from former engagements without thinking or finesse. People are hired into leadership positions for their compliance rather then their skills. You comply and keep your head down and you become a director. "My way or the highway", people are no longer valued at this company. "You want to leave... leave; we will replace you. Sadly, this is especially true for female engineers and managers. All DEI efforts effectively went out of the window and were replaced with practices that would be unacceptable in other companies. So, sadly, it is time to move on, and I cannot recommend anyone who is a developer to work here.

Tasktop Response

Thank you for your candid feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with Tasktop wasn’t what you expected and didn’t reflect the employee experience we strive for. It’s true that our organization has gone through many changes this year, including changes in our leadership and the recent acquisition. Having said that, we continue to value Tasktopians and our core value, “Care for each other’s growth and happiness” continues to underpin our leadership principles. We do not support or condone a “my way or the highway” attitude nor do we support any sentiment that people are replaceable. People are the most important part of Tasktop/Planview. As it relates to your comment on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the initiatives that we had planned with Tasktop were paused due to the acquisition activities with Planview, however now that we are part of Planview, we are excited to have access to a much larger team of colleagues and resources to help support our journey in improving diversity and creating an inclusive culture. As an example, Planview has strategic initiatives and programs for women in tech, as well as Employee Resource Groups for various minority groups. One of Planview’s values is “We value our differences” in which we champion diverse perspectives and have uncompromising respect for each other. While we may not be able to change what you experienced recently, we hope that the amazing times that you did have at Tasktop are ones that created meaningful connections and career growth for you. Thanks again for taking the time to provide us with feedback!
