      Vantaggi

      - Fully remote but you can use their office if you want to. - Decent time-off policies and okay benefits. - Great Culture - Lots of opportunities to work on newer technologies

      Svantaggi

      - They pay pretty poorly compared to the market. - Leadership team is very clueless about what they want to do. Many of them have not worked a day outside of this company and it shows with how poorly they are handling the company AFTER securing a decent funding. - The execs are just concerned about making a buck when they eventually sell the company. - Managers and CEO will lie to your face. They had another round of layoffs after the CEO said there won't be any more in the next year at least. Majority of managers do not even know what their direct-reports are working on, yet they hold TWO review cycles in a year with no development plan or goals discussion. - They acquired a LATAM based company for cheap developers so they can beat their competitors on price, while firing a major chunk of Canadian developers. - Sales only knows how to talk but not sell anything. So many engineers on the bench, yet they can't sell a project even if their lives depended on it. Poor sales performances, yet they always end up getting promoted. - They clearly have a group of favourites who can never do anything wrong.

      We’re so glad you enjoy the culture at Orium and have had the opportunity to grow by experimenting with new technologies—these are areas we take great pride in. We’re sorry that the recent layoffs impacted your experience. We assure you the decision was not made lightly. These changes and other operational adjustments were essential to ensure that Orium remains well-positioned for sustainable growth. The acquisition of Gluo, a Mexico-based digital agency specializing in e-commerce, is also a key part of this strategy. We understand that some employees have concerns about the acquisition, particularly the perception that it signals a shift toward replacing Orium developers with Gluo developers to reduce costs. However, this is not the case. The primary motivation behind the acquisition is to serve the growing LATAM market better and offer new services to our customers in the United States. If you need clarification on the points above or have additional feedback, we encourage you to talk to a member of our HR or Culture teams. We’re always open to feedback!

      Vantaggi

      Orium seems to be hitting its stride. I've watched the transition of Myplanet to Orium as the company embraced composable commerce. Some early projects were really difficult, in particular in 2020-2021, but I see us getting better and better now with each new client as the expertise and experience in the company continues to grow. The company is definitely at the forefront of a market that is seeing growth. I've never worked at a company when they were so clearly in the right place at the right time the way Orium is right now. I appreciate the transparency of management on priorities at the regular all-hands and Q&A sessions. This includes updates on key operating metrics and financial health data. Given the uncertainty in the world right now I find it reassuring to know the company is doing well. Things are fast paced and you have to like that kind of environment. I find I'm always learning and able to take on new challenges that push me out of my comfort zone. The leadership that I work with are smart, supportive and approachable.

      Svantaggi

      Growth and change means growing pains. I noticed two leaders who seemed spread too thin last year end. It impacted me less but I could see their stress was starting to affect their direct teams. More recently their responsibilities have been changed to be more manageable. I think HR also intervened based on feedback/complaints and I've noticed a change for the better. They're empowering their teams more and micro-managing them less. Another example is 1:1s getting cancelled or not happening at all in some of our project teams last year. Management re-organized this process at the end of 2022 and this seems to have improved. I appreciate that management acts to improve things, and it's probably unavoidable at a company growing this fast, but I wish we could avoid some of these challenges in the first place.

      Vantaggi

      - people - location - benefits - challenges that help you grow professionally - Mindfulness Mondays were great to take the break and reflect

      Svantaggi

      - some people needed more structure than others - could be a culture shock for those that come from an larger enterprise organization.

      Really appreciate your time writing this review. It sounds like a lot of your experience here at Myplanet resonated with you. I appreciate your time contributing to forums such as SOTU, Company Q&A, Morning Coffee and for providing feedback into our bi-weekly one-on-one feedback sessions. The best ideas we have heard and implemented come from those sessions. We try to be up-front that individuals who need extensive structure may not be a fit here at Myplanet. We're looking for those who can bring new ideas and challenges to our team. Thank-you again for your positive contributions to our story.
