Pros

Seems like a good initial company outlook during interviews Flexible / hybrid work model

Cons

What you can expect working for PlanRadar: - Ongoing mass staff resignations and layoffs from all teams, high employee turnover - Slow, unclear, bureaucratic and wasteful internal decision-making processes - HQ has no interest in taking on regional feedback in terms of competitor market saturation, economic & business outlook, or genuine tactics to improve business revenue growth - Organization framework & structure is not actually suitable for most global regions, but HQ refuses to adapt - Total lack of management transparency from team leads & CEOs alike - teams are left completely in the dark about changes to their team structure, resources and objectives every quarter - Extremely slow and inadequate hiring process for replacing lost staff - Employees are micromanaged, belittled, bullied and overworked with constantly shrinking resources & budgets - Toxic leadership is actively enabled or covered up - bullying, harassment, gossip and unethical behavior is widespread - Most teams outside of HQ are left to struggle on their own with virtually no genuine support - Sales support & SDR resources are unskilled, inadequate and constantly make embarrassing mistakes - Company-wide commission schemes, sales quota bonuses and KPI bonuses are constantly being taken away at whim - Salary packages average considerably lower than competitors at all levels And 100% guarantee they’ll use an AI bot to write a generic, noncommittal corporate response to this review too.

Pros

Flexible working (remote is possible)

Cons

Management that just dont care. Sales can always be stressful in any company, but we are not just talking about that. You have management that just categorically ignores issues, initiatives, they go so far as not even replying to email and messages. Just literally completely ignoring their employees, but demanding results that everyone is aware are completely impossible. Promotions in this department are out of question (especially if you are not in cairo/ one of the close friends of upper management), and the knowledge you will get is laughable. They literally have no idea what they are doing, it's truly a call center, nothing else. And honestly, if you invested as much energy as you do in writing these fake reviews (I mean, planradar is a company that truly values mental health, shameless) in actually improving quality of work (and no, im not saying let people do what they want and everything will be great, your managers actually have no idea what they are doing, improve *their* quality of work and the rest will follow), maybe you would have good reviews organically? Really a horrible experience that ended up in me actually seeking professional mental health help.
