Not a company that you should stick around with unless you are desperate. Maybe fine for a short term role. - Recensione dipendente - Desktop Support Analyst presso Plan-Net

Vantaggi

Honestly, it's a little difficult to find much that should be considered a "Pro" The closest I can think of to a pro is that depending on which site you work, you will only rarely have to talk to anyone at Plan-Net - the majority of the time you will be working with clients directly. If you start in the multi-site team it is a good opportunity to learn a wide variety of technologies and processes, which can stand you in good stead. Their recruitment process is bizarrely easy. I've spoken to multiple recent starters in the last year who advised they had next to no interview or technical test. They shown up, and were told to go straight to the client site. If you do not do well in interviews, this is a plus.

Svantaggi

You get a monthly review from a plan-net staff member who has talked to the client. This can vary from valuable, to an outright farce. A number of times the minutes from my monthly reviews were identical. With their lack of recruitment process, Plan-net has no concept of quality control. As long as you look the part, and have a reasonable CV, you are hired. I've spoken to clients who have bemoaned the lack of quality sent from Plan-net to work with them. You swiftly discover that no matter how well you are regarded at the client site, no matter how hard you work, and how much effort you put in, recognition from plan-net is hard to come by. Forget about getting a credible pay rise, and look forward to working with peers at sites who enjoy much fairer pay and treatment. You'll get some kind words - if you are lucky Of course, if you talk about leaving, then even that tokenism is thrown out of the window. They don't see you as a valued member of staff, but simply a resource that occupies a desk that can be easily replaced with some other chump.

Vantaggi

Since starting here I've had no real downsides - you put the work in, you get rewarded and noticed. I've started as a senior desk analyst, then moved into a team leader role due to the constant positive improvements and my great results. If you're the type of person who takes pride in his work and does the best he can while constantly wanting to grow, this is a good company for you. Unsure about how other branches of the company are, but in my part, we get autonomy and are allowed to make mistakes, learn from them and improve ourselves. So far this is the fairest management style I've seen - you put in the work and provide value, you get valued - obviously this means you need the type of person who does put in the work.

Svantaggi

No pluralsight account. No actual break room. Lift sometimes breaks and I need to take the stairs and it's 3 floors but you feel winded because of it, but it's more like 5 floors because it goes around the lift, and then I feel bad about my fitness.
